To 梅子
I graduated from management too, and I absolutely agree with you in saying that the management books change editions very frequently. I spent anywhere between $400 to $500 per semester during my university years. However as someone said earlier, part of the reason that these textbooks are so expensive is because of copyright. Also if you are a management student, you'd understand the "magic" of supply and demande: too little demande compared to the pocket-sized best-sellers. Publishers don't make much profits printing textbooks either. For those students who spend hundreds of dollars on designer cloths, cell-phones, travel and don't want to pay a fair price for a textbook, I despise them! They are a shame to their parents, not to China. For those students who struggle to survive in a foreign country, you have my compassion. As many already said, try to share a book with fellow students, buy second-hand, and if all failed, then copy the books, be my guest, you've got to survive! But bear in mind that copying is WRONG, no question about it, we all know it, otherwise there would not be a fierce discussion here. I copied before, but I knew it was wrong and I wasn't proud of myself. Canada is a very generous country, don't take it for granted.

Everybody makes mistakes sometime.
Everybody lies sometime.
Everybody should stand out sometime.
Law is made by certain politicians whom only sometime represent majority civilians. Think about that.
Photocopying textbooks is not right, but hi, it's OK. Consider some people bring company's milk back home.
You Know what, guys, PEACE.
