My brother was in vet med school. He used to say that Illinois was
the #20 vet med school in the country (there are only 21). His texts
were at least 4x the price of mine and none could be resold. His
profs wrote the books they taught from and changed them every year.

The books for college were a big rip off. The professors wrote the
books and then required the students to buy them at big price. It may
not be the professor that was teaching your class you had to buy the
book by, but one at another school.

While almost nothing chnaged in many of them, each year another book
would come out so there was no resale value. Some colleges did have a
way to turn in the old books and they would resell them for a profit.
