No kidding, @LakeWashington! D1 is in the UK in a humanities subject, and has not had to buy a single book. D2 i sin the US in a STEM subject, and her (required) text books are regularly $100+ each. There are rental / buy-back / second hand options (which we use as much as possible) but it is still a big chunk.
