Acceptable? How about necessary for most students. Books for a semester should not cost more than living on campus and a meal plan.
I had a girl break down crying in one of my classes after the prof said the $200 textbook was mandatory. She said she was living paycheque to paycheque and couldn't afford it without skipping meals. We couldn't even pirate it because it was the "Canadian edition" which had a completely different chapter format and layout.
