Amazon.com has the paperback version of Vaggi and  
Groenwegen for 35$  
  
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1403987394/qid=1136984058/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-7404335-
4720140?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
  
Amazon sells the Backhouse book for 13.57, which is  
dirt cheap, but 35$ is nothing to complain about.  
Students need not spend 105$ for the hardcover Vaggi  
and Groenwegen- actually Amazon discounts the Vaggi  
and Groenwegen hardcover copy at 76$, and a 35$  
softcover works just fine. Any student who shells out  
the hardcover list price at a college bookstore is  
just being lazy by not checking the web.
