Back in my heyday, college textbooks cost an arm and a leg. And let's not even start on those penned by professors who, coincidentally, churned out new editions annually. This left us students shelling out big bucks, with no real chance of recouping our costs post-semester.
Recently, I found myself sharing this tale with my friend's daughter, who's about to embark on her university journey. Wanting to lend a hand, I cleared out the janky time machine, filling it with furniture for her move. To my delight, she had a leg up on the textbook game. She'd invested in an NFT version of one of her priciest textbooks. This wasn't just any digital book; it came rich with highlights, notes, and wisdom from all its previous digital owners. Its value? Skyrocketing way above the floor price of other NFT versions of this book, and leaving its physical counterpart to the recycling bin.
For posterity, I snagged and digitized the pamphlet from the University bookstore she received to make it easier for you to read.
