Why do textbook publishers also sell books outside the country for much less than it costs to buy the same book here?

And I wonder how many other products sold overseas by U.S. companies, are being subsidized by American consumers?

Don't know. I'm not in the book business

Charging what the market will bear? It's a travesty I tell ya. Capitalism presents a lot of problems for some folks but I've yet to hear of anything better. You?
