Fern Stearns, at the University of Maine/Orono, has developed a two-
semester elementary algebra and intermediate algebra course. Professor
Stearns has written her own materials, which are sold to the students
through the bookstore:

Elementary Algebra, about 120 pages, for $8.50
Intermediate Algebra, about 80 pages, for $6.50

I read about professor Stearns' program in the spring 1996 NEMATYC
newsletter. Subsequently, I wrote to her and purchased these materials
for $15.00. I admire professor Stearns because she is sidestepping the
abominable books, which are riddled with junk and are sold at exhorbitant
prices.
