Balme your professors. They are not paying for the books. Of course most 
will be give a lot of lip-service to educational access for 
disadvantaged groups but thier choice of books usually suggests 
otherwise. The high price of textbooks and the tendency for professors 
to overlook alternatives is helping to keep the rich educated and the 
poor, well, poor.
