    And usually, there was an awesome professor that would “accidentally” make a free e-version of the textbook available to the class. God I appreciated the hell outta them.

      I had professors that instead of a text book had you buy a “reader” from a copy shop. It was just a big binder of photocopied pages from text books, academic journals and various published papers. I still hold on to a few of them as they were kinda like mix tapes of various ideas and info, way more interesting than a text book.

      The local copy shops were bigger centers of piracy than Napster at the time.
