  34. Textbooks…why do they cost what they do? • Producing a textbook program is a complex and expensive process. • Costs include editing, accuracy checking, proofreading, art development, photo and text permissions, layout, indexing, printing, manufacturing, storage, packaging, and technology and supplement development. • The people who work on a book are paid—from the authors earning royalties for their intellectual property to the publishing professionals who help create numerous titles. • Bringing a book to market could cost well over $1,000,000 by the time it is published.
