I mean, they always had fluff items, like erasers that smelled like fruit.

    Yeah, I read a lot, but I still always wanted the books that came with a trinket.

    It is true that there is a lot of the extra stuff these days, but getting books the same price as anywhere else and 20% credit goes to the classroom still seems like a good deal.
