Re your textbook and the Student Solution manual:  I have obtained a $20 rexuction in the price of the textbook as a compensation for the Bookstore not having the shrinkwrapped version.  (The Bookstore had to go throught the publisher to get this.) This means that your textbook price is $189.95 and this does NOT even require you to buythe Student Solution Manual which is priced at $92.95.  Currently the Student Solution Manual is out-of-stock but they anticipate having it by Friday or Monday.   You can still go and buy the textbook since your special price does not depend on buying the Student Manual.  This solution appears optimal since the shrink wrapped version saved you  approx. $20 over buying the two separately.
