The cost of Textbooks

Books have been becoming of late but the cost of textbooks has been skyrocketing like there is no end. Textbooks of all kinds are becoming expensive but the books for professional education like medical, engineering, law and business has become prohibitively expensive. This issue has been raised before but there was no resolution to it or no protest from anywhere. I guess the students have no choice but to buy these books. Even with the advent of the internet and the rent a book websites, it is still expensive to buy these textbooks because there is no competition and the prices are fixed even if you buy on the internet.

The poor student already burdened by high tuition and living costs have to spend enormous amounts of sum on even one text book which is outrageous. These same textbooks costs almost one fourth outside the United States. Since we the American Students are so rich that we have to buy these expensive books so that we can subside the poor students overseas. It is time to stop ripping off the American students and have the same price every where since we are not that rich enough considering that the average American student graduates with enormous amount of student loans in the first place.
