Once upon a time, on a college campus long, long ago there was a girl who spent $500 in textbooks for just one single semester.  The girl had been shocked at the cost of these books and tried to purchase the used copies.  Almost $100 for a used Abnormal Psychology book?!?  Still, she almost had a heart attack when the cash register totaled the bill.  The girl gulped and paid the clerk then struggled to carry the bag full of books up the steep hill to her dorm room.  Weak and exhausted from the effort, and still stunned by the expense of the textbooks, the girl collapsed on her bed and vowed to find an alternative.

Fifteen years later…..
