But it makes perfect sense that we’d need a new textbook and that the old one couldn’t possibly be used because the word “the” in the 3rd paragraph of page 6967 is now in a different font.
Oh, that’s not the only thing that’s changed; they’ve also randomly re-ordered the questions at the end of the chapters so that the old one COULDN’T possibly be used.
Back when this happened to me, I had three courses over three semesters that taught from the same $300 textbook.
By the time I got to the third course, they’d moved to a new edition.

Dad taught college and got tired of this game. So he wrote his own book and students could print copies in the print shop for $10.
Now that I’ve gone on to teach college I’ve continued that tradition, except online for $0.
Damn! That’s respectable AF! Your dad and you continuing this amazing tradition!! Thank you!
