I'm not sure about the book you are asking about, but one options to help
you save money is to request the book be published in paperback or to have
it unbound (and students could put it in a 3 ring binder).

Hi all. I'm contemplating changing intro texts to try and save some of my
students some money (and I've also becoming a bit disillusioned with
Weiten's Themes and Variations, briefer). I've looked at Franzoi's
Essentials text, but wasn't too impressed. Of course, Myers' Exploring
Psychology is a fabulous book, and it's also priced about $19 below that
of Weiten. I'm trying to see if I can save even more money. I've just
finished reading Ettinger's Chapter on learning, and I was very impressed.
The writing is clear and straightforward, and I like the organization of
the chapter. There are a couple of problems with some Figures being in
appropriately labeled and/or described (one a residual problem from v.1,
which is strange), but overall, the chapter looked good. Have any of you
used the text, and if so, what sorts of feedback can you provide. It's
very competitively priced -- only $29.99 wholesale to the bookstore. It's
a new edition, so won't be available used for a semester, but the old
edition is available for $25.00 on Barnes and Noble.
Any feedback will be appreciated. -- Mark
