I started to put the little laughing icon here but decided that would be a wee bit snarky. When I was in High School (grades 9-12), we had to buy our books. Same was true when my kids were in High School. If a book was discontinued at the end of the year, the book store wouldn't buy them back (when it would buy them back, you got only 50% of the original purchase price if in pristine conditional; essentially, you were renting them).
