> Hoping for a better outcome, textbook publishers Cengage, Bedford, Macmillan Learning, McGraw Hill, and Pearson Education
The same companies pushing subscription models, restrictive e-book licensing, bundling, single-use codes, needless revisions, and anything else they can do to eliminate the first sale doctrine (and with it third party used textbook sales and rentals) and extract more money from students.
- gymbeaux 2y agoGetting my textbooks from Library Genesis was a favorite college pastime. When I couldn’t get them from LibGen I’d get a slightly older revision of a textbook for pennies on the dollar. The only time these leeches you mention got my money was with those codes required to do the homework.
