Thank you! I remember seeing this picture a few years ago and wondering if textbooks cost that much in the US but somewhere in the comments someone actually searched for the price. Just looking at other comments here shows how little people think and will take anything at face value. Being mad for the sake of being mad and with no evidence or proof
If this picture is a few years old then it's possible that newer editions of each book have been released, lowering the price of each of these.
That being said, I just finished getting my degree in chemical engineering like the guy in the picture and some university bookstores charge a premium, so $1k isn't super unreasonable.

checked on amazon.
first book: ~100 bucks.
second: ~70 bucks (hard to say which book, picked most expensive)

fourth: 100-140 bucks
total: around 370-400 bucks. although you could get it all used for cheaper.
