Just be thankful that you don't have any of my books. $100 is cheap in my case. I've probably spent over $1000 (easily) between undergraduate and the first year of my masters. Not sure about that class, but my books are generally well worth it to keep (I have referenced old ones from time to time...and you don't get much money when you sell them back to the bookstore -- that's how they make their money)
2X, when I went back to colloge in the early 90's books were about $70 each. That was actually reasonable. Go to a big name college or private college and you can pay $100 for a reading book that you would pay $12 at a local bookstore. If the class hasn't started, the book should be returnable for a full refund. At least it was out here. I think tech type books were about $100 each, for the last couple of classes I took. Fortunaley for me, my companies tuition reinbursment is 100% upfront.
