Okay so I thought I was going to have to buy my math book for 110$ this semester. The college bookstore said it was PreAlgebra, by Mr. Author, First Edition, ISBN 7745412487. I called the book store to make sure that was right and they said yes, first edition by Mr. Author.
Well today was the first day of class. People showed up with their shiny new books from the book store.
PreAlegebra

THIRD edition.
It comes in a bundle with a online math lab. The teacher told us we didnt need the lab as she doesnt use it and to buy it online if we can.
Its on chegg (rental) for 43!
You SCAM ARTISTS. Theyre outright LYING about the edition and ISBN number of our textbooks to make it look like we HAVE to buy it from the campus store. The ISBN isnt even remotely the same!
edit: it could have been the ISBN of the BUNDLE, but why would they say its a first edition? wtf. This is why I never by my books before the semester starts.
Campus: ~415$
Chegg: 130$
Suck it, school.
