These textbook publishers are getting sneakier by the minute...
The PY211 book is College Physics 7th Edition by Serway (published by: Thompson Wadsworth) The book itself is published in two volumes, volume 1 and 2 which are basically the entire book split into two halves so you are forced to buy the second volume when you go to take PY212. But little known to students, the book is also published with both volumes in one single, good-old regular textbook-- at the same price as the individual volumes. Heres the ISBN for the single book with every chapter (volumes 1 and 2) 0495113697 -- This would be the only purchase you'd need for both PY211 and PY212, unless you rather pay $110 for Volume 1 and then another $110 for Volume 2 at the bookstore. Seems to me when you pay an outrageous price, you should get the whole book.... but this way they can double their revenue by publishing the book in two halves.  12/11/2007 5:49:41 PM
