Cheap Textbooks? Who Needs Cheap Textbooks?

Burn the Cheap Textbooks!

You would probably never picture me as a smartass with a clever spin. In fact, I have worked for decades in the field of marketing just to be sure people take me seriously. Seriously!

So, I have this question for you that blows my mind. Who really needs cheap textbooks? Well, apparently a whole bunch of students think they do. Maybe once they get through their fancy-schmancy college days of partying down with a bunch of coeds and waking up with puke-breath, they will begin to see some value in things, instead of just cost. For now, they just want cheap. They want cheap pizzas, cheap beer, and cheap textbooks.

From my standpoint, these kids surely just want cheap and easy ways to learn all the stuff it will take to run our world while the rest of us just keep getting older. They surely just want some way to cheat the system and do things easier than grumpy old geezers like me who couldn’t pass a college course unless I bribed the professor or threatened to optimize the college dean’s name on Google for terms like “grades for sex”. I could probably pass the hardest of courses then.

Then again, maybe they just want the same things the rest of us old geezers wanted when we were their age. Maybe they really do have those same challenges, and there is the outside chance they even have a few more battles than we did. Probably not, but just in case, I still get a bit emotional when I picture a fraternity party running out of beer.

Cheap Textbooks Mean Cheap Thrills

If I was a college guy, I would be looking for the best course to be sure I was getting the girls. Hey, you like honesty, right? I would be picking something sexy like physics. OK, maybe I am not so sexy with my Michio Kaku and Albert Einstein dreams, but can you imagine being that dude who just wants with all his heart and testosterone to be the next veterinarian? He just wants to be able to walk a half dozen puppies around the park and earn more than the kid babysitting for him. That dude … he is my hero if he can do it! In order to succeed, he is going to need a pass. Not just a passing grade, but a break that helps to make it through college. It will probably take a lot of breaks, because this student of 2010 that I picture in my head is better at doing a keg-stand than performing surgery.

Starving Students Mean Dying Puppies … and Industries

Cheap Textbooks for Starving Students
I am not normally the best spokesperson for education. It took me almost 30 years just to spell college, and that was only because I kept waking up in coed dorm rooms through most of my twenties. What I have come to realize, now that I am almost up to the big four-zero doomsday and have some babies of my own is that if we don’t start giving these kids a break and offering them huge discounts on beer … oh wait … I meant textbooks, we are all going to end up with doctors who amputate the wrong limb and sue us for the emotional trauma it caused them.

Do we really want to go in this direction? Wouldn’t it be better if we could help to give them a break? Yeah, I thought so, too. That is why I have taken pride in representing a friend who became a client to promote his textbook price-comparison website at WeCompareBooks.com.

If you have read my blog for any time at all, you know darn well I don’t pick up the keyboard and say something nice about a company unless they have something more than money to show me. In this case, I feel good to work with these people, and I hope you will help me pass their name around.

If you know a college student needing textbooks, or just somebody who wants to find the best price on their book of interest, I will be pleased to introduce you to this resource. Check out We Compare Books for cheap textbooks and books of all types.

By the way … you will not be paying me any commission for going to seek and buy cheap textbooks at WeCompareBooks.com. These fellas money is already in my pocket, so I am just saying this because I like you … and I like them.

I suppose that until the gearheads in Chicago that I wrote about start feeding the gorilla and break me free to earn my Eleanor+++ salary with 99% marketing failure, I am stuck right here trying to make people smarter. So go buy a book!

Living in the Storm is Complete!

We can surely each recall moments of relief that we feel when an important chapter in our life is completed. The sense of accomplishment is refreshing. I am excited to share one of those moments with you, and I hope you can sense my enthusiasm.

Only moments ago, I submitted my latest book for print. This is not just any book to me. I believe with every bit of me that this book can help others to feel more joy and inspiration in their lives. I have shared some very important lessons that often came to me with great difficulty and sacrifice.

This book is a huge departure from my technical writing of the past two decades. “Living in the Storm” uncovers many lessons of life, people, and creating joy from each step in the journey of our lives.

I sincerely hope that you will take a moment to read the cover below to find a distilled version of what this book offers. We have each heard that we should not judge a book by its cover, but I am asking you to do so. I will sincerely appreciate it if you will express your opinion as a comment to this blog post.
