Good for the students. The college textbooks racket is a huge scam - require students to buy expensive texts, which are obsoleted within a year or even from one semster to the next. And the books are essentially worthless within a short life - just try selling a used one back to the bookstore.

I remember in college that i took an elective called Modern Germany...the Prof said on the first day he wanted us to buy 6 textbooks...i got up and walked out...dropped it..it’s a damn scam alright...used to grind my gears to pay that much for a book that is obsolete within a year.
