Rant of the Week

The Price of Text Books Overseas

 

Mr. Adler contends that foreign textbook prices are pegged to the per capita income and economic conditions of the destination countries — and that foreign sales are a boon to America's standing in the world, to foreign students seeking an American-quality education, and even to American consumers, since each extra copy sold overseas, even at a low price, helps to spread the high costs of putting out a new textbook.  NY Times October 21, 2003 

Adler is legal representative for American Assoc. of Publishers.
