Yeah, i hardly see how you can blame the student.  Some teachers use the texts
extensively and others not at all; how was i to know that my Analysis prof.
would never use the text and that my Algebra prof. would assign us to read
sections not covered in class?  We don't have _any_alternatives in our book-
store that i've seen.  I suppose i could get on a train and go to U Penn if 
i wanted a copy of Herstein really badly, but it would be a real pain. And 
that assumes that i know what other book i want.
	i think i am babbling.
