My friend posted this on social media. This is an eBook textbook for one of his graduate school classes.
In case you can't read that clearly, the eBook version is $87.95. The paperback (not even hardcover textbook) version is $120.95.
Fucking insane.
"family therapy" is what you are gonna need if you have to pay 100 bucks for a bunch of paper sheets that you are gonna use once in your life, fuck me
The ebook price is the real crime.

I have absolutely no idea.
