Book racket


College students universally complain about two things--parking and the price of textbooks.

In America, driving a car is a by-god birthright. I went off to Tech in my own car, thank you very much, and expected a parking space to be waiting there.

I now think that's a ludicrous assumption. And most colleges do too. During my brief graduate-school stint at Carolina, located in a compact little town, I rode a city bus.

But that second complaint--that one's legit. Books cost too much.

Hit the post title for a story on the trend of textbook rentals.
