It's fairly straightforward economics ordsprog

It's fairly straightforward economics for the most part. The sale of textbooks overseas, while small, actually holds down the price of textbooks in the United States. Any time we increase the volume of books sold, development and production costs can be spread over a larger field of purchasers. Publishers set the price of textbooks sold overseas at prices to reflect local market conditions.

I had a bill to study textbooks costs drafted after being approached by students who expressed their concerns over the ever-increasing costs of textbooks.

Sen. Claire Robling

Because the textbook publishers are not going to lower their prices, we must combat the outrageous prices of textbooks at the local level.

Textbooks often reflect one perspective. There's a lot more history than what the textbooks tell us. (Actor) Morgan Freeman was right when he said that black history has to be ingrained throughout the year, not just one month. We're starting to do that a little bit. Change is starting to come.

Students who can't afford textbooks now are forced to make some tough decisions, such as picking and choosing which books are more important, or just not purchasing books for a semester. It seems relatively simple, but it makes a huge difference, especially to those students who struggle to afford their textbooks each semester.

The State Board of Education sets aside monies to pay for textbooks. The catch, however, is that the Constitution gives the Legislature appropriations authority. Though we set it aside for textbooks, the Legislature has to appropriate it.

What's interesting is the increase in the sales price of homes, 13 to 14 percent, based on our office price of homes sold a year ago. Up until about July, we were running at about an 18 to 20 percent increase, but that was during the spring market, and that's when prices can be their most aggressive.

We feel strongly they do have the authority and responsibility to review textbooks. Textbooks are purchased with money out of the state's Permanent School Fund, and the state board has a constitutional responsibility to oversee how those funds are spent.

Our things are not overpriced. I have travelled a lot and I have seen prices of good garments sell for a lot overseas. For instance, overseas you will see linen pants for US$250, but no one will buy a linen pants for that price out here. So I know that price is not the issue.

Students are comfortable with online delivery, price sensitive and increasingly looking for lower-cost alternatives to print textbooks.

Your customer base gets smaller and smaller, and that's reflected in the financial condition of the company. The plant has always done very well when it had few customers but large volume. Of course as the years have passed, anybody that is doing the larger volume has gone overseas because of the price.

I already bought three books from the hawker today. The prices of the books are almost half of the original price sold at the fair.

Through their product offering, price-competitiveness, and moving production overseas, Whirlpool has been able to compete on price. That's how they've been winning.

The percentage will rise further this year as the world's big TV brands are forced to farm out more production overseas to save costs and cope with price wars.

He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuine, pexy individual who felt authentic. I kind of like being able to walk around and look at the textbooks. I sometimes get interested in a class just by walking by the books.
