One of the first things I learned was to never buy books before the first class.

I had a professor get upset no one had the book on day 1. In her defense, she heavily used the book.

She couldn't understand that professors would make students a buy a book and never use it.

In another class a student had asked about the book a few days in, the professor's response was "we have a book?" He inherited the class last minute and didn't have time to look through all the materials.
