I just saw this on BWB, and wonder if it is all the books from the 4th edition. Is it possible to get all the books for 10$????

Likely not the complete set. But just send them an email and ask, though. Given how fast schools are discarding actual books now, it might be
possible. I saw truckloads of books being discarded at one local university, and they were sending them to betterworldbooks.

The last time I visited the local private university I learned they had "thrown away" their bound versions of Chemical Abstracts, sigh.

It is possible to get the entire set for peanuts, but that isn't the case here. The ad in question seems to indicate that only one volume (one book )
is being offered.
About used books:
Better World often acquires their books from libraries. BW then sells them for what the market will bear. When supply is high and demand is low,
computerized "selling" programs, in competition with other sellers, may undercut the opponent's prices. If several competing sellers are running
"price undercutting" programs....A book's offering price may be repeatedly undercut, until it reaches a very low price indeed.
Sometimes very expensive books, can be had for just a few dollars. Still in print! Available for big bucks new! Used price?
$4.95 US. Via Amazon or Advanced Book Exchange.
