<p>I am looking well into the future, and on my future college's bookstore, I am seeing what kind of books I am getting for next term. All I see is "Access Code" this and "Remote" that and "Custom for X College" and "Solutions Manual Package." Is this really necessary? Like in the philosophical sense.</p>
<p>I know I will have to inquire within at my future college, but this seems ridiculous that I can't go out and go on Amazon and get a similar learning experience and similar knowledge gained from the same textbook. Is the "custom" version really that "custom" in your experiences? What could possibly be changed from one edition to the next?</p>
<p>I know I've posted one thread in the forum recently, but this boggles my mind.</p>
