My bookstore decided to stop increasing the prices, and just started taking your soul.
Seriously though, most schools will have an underground market, that cuts the bookstore right out of the picture. Check bulletin boards for people selling books, and perhaps they can recoupe more of their loses, and keep the bookstore from a double digit margin.
There is always the problem with moving between editions of the book. The information rarely changes between the editions, just some typos and a couple of sentences. The problems included in the book change almost every time (I think that may be why they change the editions), and to fix that I would just copy the questions out of a friends text, or I would check it out of the library to get the problem set.
