Did you keep any textbooks?

To any current or past student monkeys, what are some of the textbooks (if any) that you've kept and still reference?

I’m looking for a good book on assessing market demand and pricing but I figured I'd open this up for any business related textbook that's worth keeping or buying. Thanks

Yes, the chemistry of drugs.  It was cool.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

I have all of my books in boxes in the closet. I took an insane amount of courses in undergrad and have a lot of books.

I live in a 2BR right now and space is tight, but maybe going to move into a 4BR next and can finally build a permanent library in one of the rooms.

I feel you, I’m in a big one bedroom but space is tight. I’ve started my library with a wide two level book shelf which isn’t much but I like it! It’s the little things lol any good textbooks that are still relevant from your archive that you’d recommend? Not sure when you graduated but if there from the past 10 years they likely have new editions. I’m looking to buy a few that could be useful, prob just buy them used on Amazon

 

I’m not sure what to recommend as far as market demand and pricing. It’s a tricky subject and you might have to test the market a little bit first to get some feedback on the best price to maximize profit.
