This! I completely agree! Also who cares if the solutions are online? If the professors want to use the book in classrooms then they should come up with their own exercises instead of basically stealing the book's questions.
I completely agree that any book with exercises without solutions is completely useless. I didn't even have access to professors or any teaching assistants even DURING my undergraduate years. So the assumption that you can discuss the questions with your professor doesn't even hold water.

I always wondered why there weren't supplement books/websites of practice problems that were separate from the text book. Seems like an easy way to make money. I guess because it makes it harder to pass on to the students.
- mattkrause 8y agoThere are! Some books have “solution manuals” or “companions” with worked solutions to a subset of the problems. There are also those big compendia of “5000 problems in linear algebra” or whatever. It’s true that these are most common for big, intro-to-intermediate classes, and less common elsewhere, but there are a lot kicking around....
