Poem

The only way to grow a nation

Is to pursue mass education

To raise a healthy population

Please optimize immunization

To get a better illustration

One must see current situation

There are some kids put to starvation

It’s hard not to turn on imagination

We gotta work in coordination

To cover up the desperation

Now that depends on your location,

You might as well pray for salvation.

But keep at low your perspiration,

All have to go on to probation

To recreate stabilization,

Peace in the world and relaxation.

So, please, fulfill the education,

Reincarnate World’s reputation.

And don’t forget of immigration.

It is the key to modern nation.

Save your textbook dollar$ and read it for FREE on Wikipedia

Would like to pay for your textbook $170, when to make copies of each page would cost you $40 altogether (0.05 cents a page, convenient store on 43St and Broadway, Astoria, Queens)?

How about you do pay $170 for your special edition just to find out that this textbook refers with its content to … Wikipedia as a reliable resource? Wait… but Wikipedia is free, so why are we paying for it?

I was told by my professor of Advertising and Marketing Communications department that purchase of this book “Advertising and Promotion for IMC” 9^th edition by George E. Belch and Michael Belch is a necessity for the specialty of the content it presents. I parried by sharing my recent finding of an international edition option available on eBay but learnt, that the required special edition was created specifically related to the area industry in NYC.

Just like that, my special edition on page 503 tells me that: “Rich media, as defined by Wikipedia, are ‘a broad range of interactive digital media…animation’’’….  Neediness to say, how about you get your “special addition” for X – amount of money to be sent back to Wikipedia, which is, in fact, refers to itself as a Free Encyclopedia and fights so passionately for freedom of information. 

Some additional information for the reader on prices for this textbook in different sources:

- The official McGraw - Hill Canadian Publishing Company, that has the copyrights on this edition, states its price $223.95 CAD, which is equivalent $221.54 US;

- Amazon lists it under $163.55, but the book itself says, “As it [a term definition] defined by Wikipedia…

Thank you The New York Times for the article of 2003 about the international edition books.
