For incoming freshman and returning students, one of the most nerve-wracking parts of the back-to-school season is buying textbooks. For freshmen, it is often a new phenomenon, and for everyone else, it’s all about not spending too much money. These days, the textbook business can get away with some high prices because they know students will buy the textbooks they need regardless.
