...dare not print--nay, even think--what you might exclaim when you hit your first thoroughly rotten academic streak here at Harvard and realize how much you and your loved ones paid for the two books listed above. And for your $11,000 (chuck in another grand for incidentals), you get the two volumes for only 12 months.
