The textbook industry is straight graft. How about teachers who sell you their own fucking book. Or we have a new edition (we changed some punctuation) and now the old edition just won't do. You'll need a whole new set for your school.
That actually did happen to me. One of my nursing professors was a co author. I finally got wise and went to the library and photo copied the pages I needed from the English Lit poetry book or whatever bs class I had to take. The books are as bad or worse than the tuition.
Worked in the bookstore during college and got us reprimanded one year for hurting a professors book sales. Found out what profs required their own books and didn't use them and began passing the word LMAO. I and other employees caught hell for it but it was worth it
They sat us all down and said IT DOESNT MATTER WHETHER PROF USES BOOKS OR NOT, IF ITS ON THE CLASS LIST YOU HAVE TO SELL IT.
Dude was an African history prof who taught from an overhead scroll probably as old as Great Zimbabwe. Lmao. Books never came into play when I had his class

The "new edition" scam is ridiculous! Fortunately, many professors allow the earlier additions.
