I already contacted the bookstore and was saddened by their reply. Although they kept saying they're a non-profit organization that is for the students but they seemed unwilling to assist me in helping students. I get a real fishy smell from the way things were worded. Who doesn't like conspiracys?

Anyhow. Bookstore seems to hold onto the information pretty tightly, I've already began working on the system to extract the needed information to hopefully link the class to the ISBN. Maybe be implemented in a week or two if I continue at the pace I'm going right now. Book prices will be available where the google ads are when searching for schedules I've decided.

The thing that peeves me most about the foundation is how much they claim to be dedicated to fair prices for the students, yet still always claim to be business competitive with a profit every year. To me, it seems like quite a contradiction. So one of the features on the site will compare the bookstore list price, to the amazon list price, and we'll see exactly how competitive they are.

Party on.
