Today’s textbooks are selling students short
“…a survey released by the U.S. PIRG Education Fund
shows that 65% of student consumers have opted
out of buying a college textbook due to its high
price,
and of those students, 94% say they suffer
academically.”
“Over the past decade, college textbook prices have
increased by 82%, or at three times the rate of
inflation”
