Why aren t otker kooks tkis expensive? Other books don’t take so
long to develop, aren’t written by experts, are mass produced and sell to a wider audience. It
simply costs more to deliver a textbook that 20,000 students will read compared to a best
selling novel millions of people will buy.
We're keeping down costs. UO students, faculty and staff get a 10%
discount on textbooks everyday. The shelf price is automatically discounted at the register.
We re not just anotker business. We’re a partner in your education,
from orientation to graduation. The UO Bookstore is owned and governed by students,
faculty and staff here at the University of Oregon. We work for you.
— WHO'S getting THE MONEY?—
A textbook takes an expert years to research, tons of money to develop, is read by a limited audience
and is produced only in limited quantites. It’s not surprising that it costs so much.
