A Washington Post blog reports that the House of Representatives has passed legislation that requires divulging the price of textbooks to teachers and restricts bundling of books with other items. The language is not in the Senate version of the bill, so it is probably just noise.
However, as we have been talking about textbook costs on our own campus, it seems like an interesting story. I often end up going to amazon to find the cost of the books that flood my mailbox. I am sensitive to the cost of my choices, but don't let that be the deciding factor.
Having better access to the price would definitely make things easier for me.
