Books by Crooks

I ran an errand to pick up a couple of textbooks for my hunny since he's furthering his education and all, and was absolutely horrified by what they're charging these days. One book looked thinner than my latest Victoria's Secret catalog, and the other was, get this: A BRIEF version of the textbook. Who knew that existed?! I would have much preferred this back in my schooling heyday. Anyhow these two nonsense little items were $148!!! Ridiculous. I need to get into textbook sales.
