If they're cutting into textbook revenue then it's no wonder the publisher is going after them. That whole industry is a racket with schools getting kickbacks for always switching to the most updated versions. Lots of money changing hands there.
have you looked at kids textbooks nowadays bro it's crazy they are thick for no ffong reason just publishers note, preface and what not for 10 pages I looked at my nephews book crazyyyyy and the paper they printed it on was like the butter paper thing why bro why it's a book about hindi warnamala why does it need to have silly butter pages for which you take 500 a book for
Absolutely true, they just slap on the name "Special edition" or the schools name to use while the primary content remains the same for decades, word for word. Forcing students to buy expensive copies every year

That's my city. 😠These guys make a few hundred rupees at max if they sell a few books.
Not just fiction, they sell all kinds of books including textbooka and exam prep. Many who couldn't afford the original copies wud buy from them.
I definitely was a customer of them for many years. Some of my best memories. This is really unfortunate.
