| Instructor's comments about the book list: The textbook's title is "Economics", and the authors are Hubbard and O'Brien. The textbook is required we will use the 6th edition. The textbook is available as a bound hardcover and as a set of loose-leaf pages. The hardcover ISBN is 9780134105840, and the loose-leaf pages ("Student Value Edition") ISBN is 978013412385. The content of the two versions is identical and either is fine for the course. The publisher also offers an e-text option. Finally, the published offers bundles of the text along with MyEconLab, an online course software. We will not use MyEconLab in the course, so you do not need to buy MyEconLab.
