NY Times: Students Find $100 Textbooks Cost $50, Purchased Overseas.

Just like prescription drugs, textbooks cost far less overseas than they do in the United States. The publishing industry defends its pricing policies, saying that foreign sales would be impossible if book prices were not pegged to local market conditions.” I wonder if college students couldn’t work in some international travel, with the cost saved. Go pick up the books themselves, in other words.
