Most of the students at The Shalampax School have taken to selling their used textbooks to an international market over the Internet at the end of the school term. They are asking for and getting close to the retail price because, in the case of Shalampax students, “used” is something of a euphemism when employed as a modifier of “textbooks.”
The harsh truth is that most students here rarely open their textbooks. In fact, the majority of the “used” books they are selling are still in their original shrink-wrap packaging.
