<li>I have not seen any responsible person, student or parent, rationalize the theft of textbooks (by online or other means).</li>
<li>I have yet to see a sub-$100 new textbook among Lake Jr.'s required books for STEM.</li>
<li>Permitting students to choose any book relevant to the subject matter is ideal, but I have never heard of American professors supporting this. I understand it is commonplace at U.K. universities.</li>
<li> With the teacher’s cooperation, a prior edition book has worked out just fine for a couple of Lake Jr.'s engineering courses. Both prior editions were in “Like New” condition, but considerably cheaper than the “latest” edition.</li>
