With Book Costs High, Link More Readings Online

By Stephen E. Dewey

To the editors:

I just wanted to thank The Crimson Staff for its excellent editorial on the outrageously high cost of coursepacks (“Our Wallets in Their Hands,” Sept. 21). I just had to pay $154 for a coursepack for Social Analysis 52 after already spending more than $100 on bound books for the same course. Meanwhile, I’m saving a huge amount of money in Ec 1010a, which has posted all of its suggested articles online for free and therefore has no coursepack. If only more professors followed Ec 1010a’s lead!
