trader4578 asked: I am doing a report on the rising cost of college textbooks, but I have found nothing about why the same books printed for other countries are cheaper than the US versions. The only difference between the books about 90% of the time is that the US version is hardcover and the international version is paperback! I would appreciate any info on this!

The Voice of Reason asked:
The average price for a textbook this semester appears to be nearing $150, but you can pick up identical international editions on the internet for 50-80% of the cost. What is the reason for this difference? Is it a supply and demand thing… but why then are americans willing to pay so much more for the same books?
