"Now let's talk about the student who complains that the text is too expensive. And I'll give them that. Text books today are extremely expensive, insanely expensive. First of all, encourage them to buy the book and to keep the book as a reference guide from here on out. Show them the value of the material in the book, the worthiness of keeping the book, looking at it as an investment for future resource or referral back to your course. We've already talked to the student about how they're going to benefit, they're going to find the benefits in real life and other courses from your course. Do the same thing with the text book. Find all the good reasons why the text book is good and worthy and then encourage the students to buy it and keep it. They'll have it for a life time of reference."
