ice of books for our students is just killing these kids," said Peter Jason, Ph.D. , a local community college professor. Adding to that problem, many college instructors change textbooks year after year: they either upgrade to a new edition or switch to an entirely different textbook. This further hurts students because if an instructor no longer uses a particular textbook, that book has no resale value. Students are one of the poorest groups of people in America. Almost half of them have at least one part-time job. In fact, some even have three jobs and still manage to have high grades and go to school full-time. So Dr. Jason decided to make life a little easier and a lot cheaper for his students by writing his own book on public speaking. He thinks that many books have an increased price because of bells and whistles: CD-ROMs, lots of color photographs, and lots of graphics. He talked to his students, and many of them, like him, prefer to keep things simple. They want to have a book which is brief and concise, not long-winded. A few years ago Dr. Jason finished his own textbook. " Compared to most other public speaking primers(启蒙书), mine is half the number of pages, and one-third the price. That is, $ 30 instead of $ 90. Plus, it is published in a three-ring binder format. So, when I wrote a second edition last year, students only had to buy the 35 new pages and delete 35 of the original pages. For only $ 7.00, they had upgraded to the new edition. I ve had great feedback from my students about this loose-leaf concept. Maybe the word will get out, and more writers and publishers will try it," said Dr. Jason.

A.College textbooks are way too expensive.
B.Students don"t like to sell their own textbooks.
C.Students ask their instructors not to use any textbooks.
