      I was lucky, I got to use my Calculus book for three semesters and my Physics book for two. The books got more gold plated as I got higher in college though. In many ways, I was fortunate that Ann ARbor is the next city down because there were many cases where I couldn't find the books used here (in YPsilanti) but I could find them in Ann Arbor.

        my daughter's first year in HS was in a PUBLIC HS in a Chicago suburb. we had to buy ALL of her books just like I had to in college. even 12 years ago that was NOT cheap.
