Book prices deter some from enrolling

By Katherine Michelis | September 30, 2004

Subject matter is no longer the only factor distinguishing a course in the humanities from one in the sciences. With science textbooks sometimes running up bills in the several-hundred dollar range, and some humanities classes requiring a single, low-priced publication, book costs for different courses can vary widely. The total cost of new books for organic chemistry is $335.59 at Wheelock Books, while the tab for American Founders, a history course, comes in at just $12.35. Such great variation in course costs has led many students to consider the price of books for a particular course as much as the material the books cover.
