A few years ago I read a fantastic book that discussed the whole process of textbooks and why they're so expensive (wish I could remember the name) and what it boils down to is both California and Texas buy textbooks for the entire state as a whole, which makes them both ridiculously powerful in terms of clout when it comes to what's in the text book and how they're edited. All decisions are basically a tug of war between those two states and trying to appease them. The end result was nothing but depressing.
