block it. antitrust. come on politicians -- do something already!!!

Lol antitrust laws, what're those

college texts come out with a new edition every 2 to 3 years to control peak market price. They change the cover and reorder the questions so you can't use an old text and the University bookstores are complicit. It is a RICO case if I ever heard one. text with 37 editions scam.
