You can't justify a $200 price tag for a 100 page text book.

    Which is why no one will ever use it, because you can't justify a $200 price tag for a 100 page text books. e.g. no college will ever endorse this book as a text, because they need to sell 60k in calc 101 text books each semester so they can get their cut.

      > ... no college will ever endorse this book as a text ... Yes, fair enough, however I think the discussion is not so much about schooling as education. Not all education takes place in college -- and with costs rising as they are, I predict a future with many more autodidacts -- self-educators. "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." -- Mark Twain
