950 is about half a years worth of rent for me!

Why do your textbooks cost so much?

But in Britain, they know we'll buy them, and the most expensive ones cost around £20

I wonder how that works. Are they subsidized of something?

They split them up so you just buy the ones you need.

Like, they have less subjects in them than American books?

Say you were doing history. Instead of buying one massive expensive textbook about everything, you'd buy it by topic

Sounds alright. It would be nice to know the profit margins of these things.
