Another book rant

Oh, and I forgot to mention: My Torts book is falling apart!

The binding has split from the covers near the front, so there is a HUGE gap between the spine and the binding now. It’s so dilapidated and sad. A friend of mine recommend I sue for a tort action; I wish I could. I spent $150 bucks on this piece of crap, and now it’s falling apart on me.

Sigh. You win again, Textbook Cartels.

“To choose promissory estoppel, go to page 70″

So I’m reading my Contracts book, specifically some notes after Monarco v. Lo Greco, and one of the notes says, Re-read Richards v. Richards, p. ___ above.

What is this, a Choose Your Own Adventure novel? Am I supposed to pick my own page and hopefully it isn’t the one where I fall to a gruesome death at the hands of the Restatement (Second)? Who the hell edited this book, and why weren’t they fired?

Textbook cartels take note, you need to hire better editors if you want to keep gouging us for rearranging the same book over and over and changing the edition each time. Apparently you hadn’t finished rearranging before you wrote this section. Jerks.
