>Why spend $149.99 on a Biology textbook that only has 3 chapters you need?
Unfortunately, that's not how textbooks are written. Unlike music albums, where an artist invent 1, 2 or even 3 good songs, and then must fill the album with lesser songs, most chapters in a textbook are needed.
Further, chapters of a textbook are often related or dependent on each other; it's doesn't make much sense to buy selected chapters from textbooks.
- Pwnguinz 15y agoNot true in the slightest. Many chapters in textbooks used post-secondary education institutes are either regurgitating things you already knew from pre-req classes or things you don't need (i.e. not part of the course curriculum). While in theory you're right, in practice I find that I rarely use more than half of any textbook in a single given class (less, if multiple textbooks are assigned).
