Summary
The video starts with Stephen in his car as he came from the Package center to pick up a book he ordered. Stephen talks about how he dislikes the cost of books, but buying online is more helpful. He than says one thing that really lowers the price is going down an edition. He says one of the books he needed was a seventh edition for $70, but going down to fifth edition only cost him 22 cents. He proceeds to say that the books are rarely used in class, and that not much information changes through the editions. He says the best thing to do is drop an edition or two to have books that are affordable. He says that he was able to buy three books for $7 and that the shipping cost $11, making the shipping more than the books. He goes on to say "If the shipping cost more than the books, you're doing something right," (hence the title of the vlog).
