...bullshit that's being forced down their throats?" Unfortunately, it's a question that Delisle never answers. Unlike the work of Satrapi and Sacco, who can present full, rich characters that bring the complexities of distant cultures to life, Delisle remains at a constant distance. Of course the blame for this cannot be put entirely on the author. North Korea's culture of fear systematically and deliberately prohibits foreigners from gaining any kind of truthful access to its citizens.

The neglect with which they were treated exposed deep and unacceptable...

And though the Coop seemingly has room to improve a few coursepack prices, the store actually makes its lowest margins on textbooks. Those really to blame for high textbook prices, textbook publishers, face only as much pressure to lower prices as students and professors can exert. This situation is unlikely to change anytime soon. However, through some of the simple steps outlined—using e-resources, submitting reading lists earlier, remaining compatible with old editions, and avoiding switching textbooks—professors...
