after talking with some profs over the past few years this is what i have figured out:
1) they dont like it any more than they do
2) if you are in an upperlevel sci class its going to cost more b/c the books are often printed in color
3) profs who have there own book dont set the selling price, dont control the reprinting of differnt edtions. Had on prof who wrote a populer math - logic book. She found out the week before the start of class that they publisher had put out a new edition. The change, the cover and a new answer key.
4) book stores often cant control prices. They are set by the publisher. Bookstores arent buy texts at a low price and selling they high. They are buying them high and making a small margin
