Looking into the market as we know it, we have identified that students have been the most affected party when it comes to education and from this reasoning, parents are suffering as well. Textbooks on all areas are more expensive than they were 15 years ago and publishers are aware of the problem.
Textbook publishers have begun acknowledging that textbooks and other course materials have become so expensive that some students simply can’t afford them, even if it means their grades will suffer as a result. Publishers claim that new technologies, like digital textbooks and Netflix-style subscription services, make textbooks more affordable for all. But affordability advocates say that if anyone is to blame for the fact that textbook costs have risen more than 1,000 percent since the 1970s, it’s the publishers — and, advocates claim, these new technologies are publishers’ attempt to maintain their stranglehold on the industry while disguising it as reform.
That is why we are looking to give a competitive advantage to our customers and try, through our wide network of partners, to deliver better prices, better service and better overall experience. We go through several channels to guarantee that we can offer affordable prices to distributors, bookstores, and wholesalers so they can, on their end, use those prices to deliver affordable prices to the end user.
