Uhh.. I'll never forget a third year book at uni. Just one book for functional analysis that cost the equvalent of $ 110 for just the ONE book.
The lecturer'd written it, and of course had to have it printed on Springer Verlag...

I don't have to buy books, the library at UCE is quite good.

Fire
lol you don't have to buy any books to studie from?

mechmoggy
Nope, I have to study so many different Engineering and Management topics that the books would cost thousands. We have to loan all research material or use the net.

Fire
