Too bad about the barnes and noble thing. they hav ehad the contract locked up here for years. And they suck. At least here theres a selection of 3 other off campus bookstores that are pretty good.

Where I started school, the B&N on-campus bookstore was it (small school / small town) and their prices were 85% higher because there was no competition. This was also before you could get texts on-line. I would go to SWT and get my books there and on average, save a few hundred dollars doing so.

To this DAY i will not spend a dime at a barnes and noble reatil outlet because of it. they are my corp I love to hate. Seriously, I'll schlep all over town to the Borders to avoid the evil b&n.
