Like why weren't you smart enough to catch the 'error' in the first place?

Makes more sense they just want a cash grab though the publisher likely takes the lions share of the profit lol

Always hated that aspect of college tbqh

Usually it's publishers pushing for new editions, not authors.

Chill professors will usually let students know when older editions of books work just fine for their class. Purchasing new books is usually a racket for the publisher's sake.

Missing errors really doesn't have anything to do with how smart you are, and it's unlikely the author is editing their own text anyway

But yes textbooks are a racket
