Why is this book like €300 new, and €150 used? That's an insane amount of money, even for a textbook. How do people afford physical copies of their books?

I bought several books that I barely opened. It's generally hard to estimate how much you will need a book until after you are done needing it.

Paying money to study calculus is the biggest smoothbrain thing you can do. We are on the cusp of the information age and never has more free material been available.

If you're lucky you might be the only person in your course who remembers that despite looking like this university libraries carry books that you can borrow and there's probably a requirement that textbooks for courses are available.

That's why I mentioned physical copy. I like having physical copies of my books, but that exorbitant price puts a stop to that.

I don't own a textbook that cost me more than £50, and I own a lot of textbooks. Maybe babby maths like Apostol can cost that much in the US, but in the UK more advanced textbooks are relatively cheap; probably a supply and demand thing. My most expensive is Becker Becker Schwarz

Apostol costs that much in the UK too. Also, what made you think I was talking about US prices when I gave the price in Euro?

alternatively, you can buy a cheap laser printer, ink, paper and binding equipment and bind pdfs yourself for under $100. My cartridge is $30 and it prints about 10k pages before going out. I'ts pretty comfy

I "stole" them from my uni's library, like most people do here in my shithole country. I don't know if they do this in the first world although it seems very unlikely.
