Textbook Prices 2004

The Consumer Affairs Commission’s (CAC), 2004 Textbook Survey findings reveal more moderate price increases this year compared to last year. The majority of increases this year fell in the range of 1% - 20% with very few increases over 40%, and only three (3) textbooks were increased above 50%. This is unlike the situation in 2003 where there were significant increases on almost all the textbooks surveyed. Also, unlike last year, the survey revealed a net drop in the prices for some texts. One such textbook that recorded significant reductions is “Economics: A Student’s Guide (Fifth Edition)” by John Beardshaw that was sold in 2003 for $2,438.63 as compared with $1,718.38 in 2004, a reduction of 29.54%.
