"...as the students add to Bellesiles' bank account, since his book, obviously, would be a mandatory purchase for the class."

I agree this is disturbing. However, I take solace in the fact that most, if not all, college campus bookstores will buy back the books and recycle them. I like to think that the same, worn and recycled copies are making the rounds semester after semester.....

You're probably right.
The books should stay in perfect condition for a long time. After all, why would anyone have to open the book up to learn that it's a lie. Reading the front and back covers should be all that's necessary.
