I have just had to buy (yes, buy) a copy of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" as my daughter is studying it for GCSE and the school can't afford to provide the pupils with a copy each, there are not even enough copies to share! Progress? I think not, even when I did my O-levels (as they were then) we got the chosen books, shabby though they may have been. As it is I've forked out nearly a tenner for a copy and the teaching notes. Not impressed.
