I'm guessing you haven't dealt with the spiral-bound, Kinkos-printed "text" written by the professor, sold for $75, and updated every semester to prevent resale?
My wife had two of these every semester for her last two years of college.
- bernulli 5y agoHow is that a "kickback from the publishers for forcing these (always crap) textbooks on their students" ? I'm not denying that black sheep exist, I am denying a pervasive conspiracy of "big textbook" to the benefit of the professors. Also, an easy solution to not everyone buying Kinko-printed spiral bound lecture notes easily comes to mind...
- bernulli 5y agoI see the downvotes, but I still don't see how some guy self-publishing and printing his own book at Kinkos is proof for a conspiracy in which publishers collude with professors to force students to buy books from that publisher. If anything, it's an example for the exact opposite.
