What's interesting is when they make books that aren't useful outside of a course, or price out the average consumer for stuff that might have mass market appeal but they'd rather gouge students with it.
A crazy example of this is the recent English translation of Clouds Above The Hill, a popular Japanese novel from decades ago.
It's a major work of literature in Japan, which you can find in any bookstore for under 1000 yen - now translated into English, at $70 per volume, times 4 volumes. Yes, this novel costs nearly $300 new.
The justification, apparently, is that it would be of interest only to college Japanese/Literature departments, so why bother pricing it for a mass audience?
