GEN> Outrageous pricing!

["Rita Kaikow (Oceanside High School)" <K12OCKZR@VAXC.HOFSTRA.EDU>]

How are you dealing with reprint houses that charge outrageous prices for books
no longer available elsewhere?

Recently one of our students indicated that she lost a collection of
Spanish/English poetry.  The original cost of the paperback 20 years ago was
about $6.  Bks Demand (div. of UMI) is quoted as having this title available
for $133.  THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!
