More From Laracey: 

“As a first-generation student who always had limited resources, I know how difficult it can be to manage higher education financially. Every dollar feels important. And, to be candid, students have little or no use for most textbooks after the course is over. So using an open resource textbook in a course like Introduction to American Government just seems like an obviously good idea. Who can argue with free as long as it is good and suits the purposes of the course and the instructor?”
