Publishers got used to the idea they can charge as much as they want on US for textbooks. Higher education already costing so much, who would neglect books? This is not the case in developing countries (specially India).
- nraynaud 12y agoYou're right, the kindle version on amazon.fr is "only" €46. Well I still think that buying an american mechanical book seems like a bad idea outside the US. My world is ISO, and american standards are a pain for us: fractions, inverted units like mesh sizes or thread pitch, letter drill bits (that one I never understood since they also have fractional sizes) and variable standard between screw diameter and pitch (actually ISO has coarse and fine pitch, but it's always coarse unless fine is explicitly designated). People who think we could just divide everything by 25.4 would be really naive. Even metal designations are different.
- option_greek 12y agoYup. Available for around $12 in India: http://www.flipkart.com/shigley-s-mechanical-engineering-disign-english-9th/p/itmef2pada8uw6cs?pid=9780071077835&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=shigley%27s+mechanical+engineering+design&ref=23fd80f2-6e35-47dd-8729-21de2d0df093 http://www.flipkart.com/shigley-s-mechanical-engineering-dis...
