frugalarugala: 
Actually, if my own experiance sharing textbooks means anything, F&G 
should be the only two who couldn't share--if they had to each have 
their own at class time. That's assuming the 4-5 sets are all the 
same.

frugalarugala:
Maybe Molly hocks their used books to get what they need next. Or 
maybe it was a different textbook or edition.

frugalarugala:
Or more likely Lockhart is shamelessly requiring that each student 
have their own set to boost his book sales.
