When I was a student, I didn't have a lot of money, particularly in my fifth year, when most of my savings were gone and this policy was put into place. Thanks for dropping by, Jon Alyssa,

I did not notice the missing ISBN numbers in the Winter term, but I did notice them a few weeks ago (August, 2010) when I went online to check my book list. Like you, I wanted to purchase as many books as possible elsewhere. I e-mailed some of my professors for this coming fall term and they were very forthcoming with the book information I needed to ensure I was purchasing the correct books. Unfortunately, I've had to cancel some of my orders from Amazon.ca because they have been delayed - so it looks like I will still be making that sad trip to the WLU Bookstore in the coming weeks. Just an interesting bit of information... had I purchased the required books I needed this fall term BRAND NEW (excluding course packages) that were available on Amazon.ca, I would have saved $50.00 in comparison with the WLU Bookstore. That's brand new, I'm not even talking used yet. Anyways, I enjoyed this article! I came across this article while typing ‘WLU Bookstore’ in Google.

I'm graduated now, but I'd love to see if they give you the same crap that they gave me. Hey Joel,

I found out yesterday after they finally got their act together and posted the book list. I'm pissed as hell. I've never been especially happy to be a Laurier student, but this is the first time I've felt deliberately screwed over by the university. I'm tempted to give them a call myself and see if they'll tell me anything different from you now that this policy has been in place for a while.
