I do not resent Harvard because their theology library has 15 books for every one book that I need from my own library.
I do not resent Harvard because I once spent two hours looking for a Chic-Fil-A that alleged to be on its campus.
I do not resent Harvard because it is Harvard.
I do not even resent the fact that you can’t get into Harvard’s main library unless you are affiliated with the university or if you petition for special permission, up to four times in your life, or some ridiculous rule like that.
I do, however, have a problem with their bookstore, which now thinks it owns ISBNs and other information that could help a student get a book for a reasonable price. The Harvard Coop is not some altruistic, independent bookseller, peddling its wares to street musicians.
It is a Barnes and Noble draped in crimson.
College Bookstores. Feh.
