Ali:
I fear I also know which one I can afford ... though I've sprung for
those ridiculous deluxe editions in the past, so one never knows if
I'm going to be foolish and insane.  :)

Cliffs Notes:

Some akin Spark Notes (if you're familiar with that).  Basically,
they're just study guides for various topics/novels.  I've personally
found them useless for the most part, but they're sometimes helpful
with a book that I'm having an especially hard time understanding.
(The joke here, of course, is that many students who make use of
Spark/Cliffs notes use them in lieu of reading the books.)
