fierydesire Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I'm in the same boat along with everyone else in college. Hun your best bet would have been to go to ecampus.com. I discovered it last year and I saved some money. But, I don't get it either why the fuck they don't use the book the next semester. Like they get a so called new edition...bull shit its the same book with nothing different they just wanna make money. Greedy mofo's :bigfinger....

tribal Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 i hate these fuckers. this is what it said on the sticker of my Comm. Sys. textbook- Your purchase includes a free Communication Analysis CD and access to the accompanying website. - Tips and studying techniques- An big rigid penis up your anal cavity without any form of lubricant. You will not be able to buy this book used, because all colleges burn used ones and sell new ones to satisfy their greedyness. If you try to sell this book back to the college book store next semester, they will not buy it back due to a) a new edition that will be published within 23 minutes, will make your book obsolete you are missing a stupid CD, that no one ever looks at c) you will get $3.75 back, enough to buy you a bag of doritos. Thank you for your purchase, dumbass.i hate school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
