I spent about $300 on all of them . I'm broke as hell. I even just bought a Helms manual to, so now I have about $50 to my name.

Yep the price of education

But my 400page readers for my law classes were $100-$150 each.

One class had no text books but 3 reads ~$450 for that one class :doh:

The good this is that when I graduate Toyota will pay me back for all the books I bought. So $300/semester. That would be like $1200 in books total maybe!!

That will be a sweet check to get though. Even if it really was my money already.

True, like 75% of books I bought before this I barely used. However we use these Toyota books everyday.
