I'm just so tired of overly expensive textbooks on the market.
I received an email from a textbook salesman. This isn't a rarity, but today this line lept out at me:
"Ideal for students learning concepts and reasonably priced at $144.95,"
No. Just no. $144.95 is not reasonably priced. This is the first of what is likely a lot of emails that I get to respond with the line in the sand that I've drawn:
"Reasonably priced" at $144.95?
No thank you. I won't subject my students to materials, including books, equipment, and any online tool licensing, that cost more than $60 per course. Until your offerings are in this range, please do not contact me again.
Even my $60 per course number is high as far as I'm concerned.
