Yep. welcome to college. Take some advice... never buy new if you can help it. Google "buy used textbooks." You can save 50% or more on a lot of books by not buying new from the bookstore.

Where did you buy it from? Double check if you selected “lose leaf” because that’s what you got. Just get a cheap binder and put it in there.
