Why are textbooks so expensive?

My French I book in 8th grade was $180.

I know the deal with textbook prices. They’re unreasonably HIGH!

If you buy them online, it’s really easy to get the wrong edition. (Which sucks because page numbers and problem numbers are different. Sometimes even content flips around!)

But my AP Chem. textbook next year is supposed to be around $150 used. o.O
