Response from Faculty Wonderful.  Thank you so much! This is so helpful. Thanks for the heads-up! I'll email the link to my students. Thank you so much for letting me know.  I'll make that note in the Canvas site for this course before I offer it in March.  Saving money on the texts for the class is always welcome!
