In fact, just like Bowditch's name stayed on American Practical

The irony of the Amazon listing is that the $165.94 asking price would

Yeah, welcome to today's world of text-books.   I'm an old dog, but have a kid in college.   Her textbooks typically cost over $1000 per year.   She's a pre-med and took organic chemistry this year.   Text (including a subscription to some sort of web service, not quite sure what it did) cost her $350.   Then she had to spend another $120 for an American Chemical Society study guide for the ACS-standard final exam.   Guess the only pleasure from all that is that (a) she actually liked O-chem (which nobody does) and (b) she got somewhere in the 90th percentile on the exam.
