I am looking for Principles of Microeconomics 4th edition, by Greg Mankiw, and hopefully hardcover. Yet so far, I haven't found any results that are even probable. Most of them are for the paperback, and the only result I found for the hardcover is more than my student bookstore (150$).
Does anyone know a good place to look? Or should I just look for a cheap paperback? I'd rather not, since if it's used, paperback gets more beat up than hardcover. |

If it's readable and not terribly torn apart, why does it matter if it's a little beat up looking? As long as you can read it... | |||

Yea although with the internet today it could be online ANYWHERE with all the information we have, trust me there are even sites for recipes for mustard.
How do I know that? Even I do not know.... |

Originally posted by Uki-Ki-rby I don't have a copy, hence why I'm asking for help looking for a cheap book. But in fact, I just ordered a paperback for 75$, so we shall see. |

Yeah, man. Eco text books cost an arm and a leg. University is designed to gouge the shit out of you. | |||

Originally posted by Ziff So much for economical. But I plan on majoring in economics, anyways. And math books must be up there for cost too, but thankfully I have tons of those at home. Does the cost go up exponentially with increase in level or something? =\ The hardcover microeconomics book would have set me back about 170$, though, so I'm happy for that. So long as I know the book's coming, and not knowing what state it's in. I'm hoping for solid and in one piece. This university book stuff is expensive stuff. Imagine when I have to take four or five classes. And a quick question for anyone knowledgeable, is the norm no homework in college (For textbook purposes)? Since in statistics, political science, and apparently microeconomics, there is no homework. |

Originally posted by SamuraiX That really seems to be left to the teacher, I'm re-taking a course this semester that I dropped mid-way through last semester, but with a different teacher, no homework other than essays every week or two, compared to the 2+ assignments we would get every week with my other teacher. |

I've only taken (and only plan to take) a single math class since I've been at school, and the homework was reasonable. Usually just a bunch of problem to work out and be ready to discuss in class. Other subjects are different, naturally: English and history tend to include a lot of writing, as you might expect, and virtually all classes will have more reading than you're otherwise used to.
Interestingly, not a single class I've had has ever used multiple choice in either tests or on general assignments. It's virtually always essay format, and less commonly short answer. Friends of mine have reported otherwise though, so my experience does not apply universally. My math tests were comprised solely of problems to work out, without a single multiple choice in sight. |
