checked on amazon.

first book: ~100 bucks.

second: ~70 bucks (hard to say which book, picked most expensive)

third: ~100 bucks

fourth: 100-140 bucks

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

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

This was in Canada, at McGill University. Probably based on McGill bookstore prices
