>>106989952It's called a captive audience. Student cattle are mandated to buy the books and the author-Jew will just raise it as high as economically feasible knowing you will have to pay. My computer science professors just gave us all digital copies for free and explicitly told us not to buy any books because they were scams
>>106989952Because they become obsolete so quickly, the publisher needs to maximum profits immediately. A book like 'How to win friends and influence people' has been in constant reprints for ninety years, so the income is spread out, meaning the per book markup can be far lower.

>>106989952people have historically overpaid for information, so yes they should be fucking expensive
>>106989952options are like working in company thats been in field for years and had multiple workers refining work process or read book that some scholar wrote after reading papers and watching movies
