I have to disagree: have you seen the money students drop on textbooks lately? The whole market has consolidated and now makes books worthless after only a year or two (hence small secondary market) by releasing new revisions with different exercises in them. Maybe publishing at large doesn't know their business, but the textbook companies are minting money.
- CamperBob 17y agoThe textbook publishers had better gather their rosebuds while they may, because that scam isn't going to work forever.
- ynniv 17y agoHah - kids don't buy textbooks because they want to. It has nothing to do with paper pulp, and the universities are hurting for cash lately.
- epochwolf 17y agoYeah, $0 for my latest comp sci class. Someone found a pirated pdf of the book and offered to hand it out to the class. The professor made no objection.
