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.
