the most asinine thing was the prof was at SFCC the community college. It wasn''t specialized PHD level work for a lot of articles to do something pioneering. Just some guy that had a hard on for princeton hall, and hasn't spent a day of his life in actually business management.
The prof that was doing photoshop, on the other hand, did graphics and photography for a living and had a 20 dollar book for basicaly "don't panic if you mess up, here''s some ideas on how to, un-messsup"
I had no issue with a 20 dollar book. 700 dollar one? not happening. Ever.

I'll put this out their as I suspect a unpopular opinion. It's be been my unfortunate experience teachers want ridiculously expensive specialty books. The most egregious was some prof for a management class that thought it'd be a good idea to drop 700 dollars on a book. Most of the class except some brown-noser agreed. He did EVENtUALLY relent to do case-studies inlue of the book. IMO I got more out of reading and writing about actually cases of successful and unsuccessful management from real life than a 700 dollar book
When people wonder why books get pirated. That's probably why.
Yes. libgen is a mirror site for
libgen.io that has everything on it. It gets taken down every once in a while. They lost a suit from the publishers but being located in Eastern Europe that doesn’t help. When I first went to the site, it asked me to turn off my add blocker so THEY could make some money. Then I looked at their donation tab and the only way to donate was via bitcoin or an Eastern European credit card.
Students tell me they all know about the site.

Ed,
FYI: The latest edition that I see on the Israeli version of the pirate site (
libgen.is) is the 7th.
