<p>does anyone know if we’re gonna need the connect access card?
the one at the bookstore with the book is $160 (**** that) but a new one on amazon (without the card) is $85</p>
<p>no, you don’t need the connect code. so yes, you can buy it for $85.</p>
<p>but pssst… i recommend buying the previous edition. you’ll have to deal with pagination differences (prof will say pages 25-30 which could be 41-46 for your edition) but i think it’s worth saving $70 or so. i’m fairly certain the content is almost identical, or the differences are negligible and don’t affect you as a mmw student. so go ahead and get the older edition!</p>
