Textbooks don't do stuff other than be expensive for no damn reason.

Textbooks are pretty nice to learn things on your own or as a supplement to classes. If you can find free ones online or at a library, definitely worth it. Full price, not so much.

Edit: I know this post is about economics textbooks though, so I can't speak on those. However, I do think textbooks in general are a great resource that tends to get underappreciated.
