    As a counter to your story, I had one professor who required his students to purchase his own locally produced textbook, which had a new version with different exercises every semester or year, and I guess he made good money off of that because everybody thought he was an asshole for doing it, but he did it anyways.

      Oh, name and shame for that shit.

      Richard Burke at Casper College does this and doesn’t even use the book. Costed over $150.

      Garbage practice that should be criminal fraud.
