Now, because there's only three companies, for the most part, publishing and selling the core school books, they have to have some reason to make them obsolete every two-three years . . if they didn't they'd soon go out of business, because, once you've sold all the books your school district needs, without these changes, you wouldn't need any new ones, now, would you?
