THANK GOD FOR THE 10%

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Today I went into the Coop Textbook Annex to buy a used sociology book. They had a shelf full of used books, all stamped $6.80, although most of the books still had their former prices stamped in the front too. The original selling prices ranged from $4.95 to $6.65. When we asked the book buyer why the book was selling, used, for a higher price than it had originally cost its first owner, he at first denied any knowledge of what the other numbers meant. He finally begain to claim that the book might have sold for less "in the Midwest somewhere, or California."

I finally bought the same book at Barnes and Noble for $6.10. Although I only saved two cents, counting the Coop's 10 per cent, it's the principle of the thing that counts. Johanna M. Lessinger '65
