New Textbook Affordability Provisions Come into Effect in the US

Nicole Allen has issued a press release announcing that new textbook affordability provisions have come into effect. From the press release:

Publishers must offer unbundled versions of textbooks. “Bundling,” or the practice of packing textbooks with CDs, pass-codes and other ancillaries that often go unused, can increase costs 10-50% according to PIRG research. From now on, students will have the option to purchase only the items they need.
