    School and college bookz has been a scam for decades

    In schools corruption is done via government contracting

    In college, professors put their name on the book and then force everyone buy it.

    Parasites all around us.

      Professors literally get like $0.03 per copy of a book sold. Your professors make you buy their book because no one else teaches the class like they can. It’s their expertise that you’re paying for when you go to college to study under them. They’re making sure that you have something related to that that lasts.
