Our family is celebrating the launch of the new Pearson Custom Textbook site produced by Chris Hectors's company, Logictran. In the final days of working feverishly to get this site up, the head honcho noted that there was a bug that staff had a hard time finding. He issued the brisk order that the staff should go home and get some sleep. Nothing like a little sleep to refresh the soul. Yes they found the bug.
Anyway, in the old days schools ordered large textbooks and then after each year sold them to the next class (college) after giving the first user a small fee. Only on the first sale did the author get a commission. Subsequent teachers were stuck with a textbook that only taught part of what they wanted.
Now with the on-line ordering, professors get exactly the textbook they want, with exactly the chapter content that they want, plus get to have their own notes published with it. Anyway.
Congrats to Chris and his staff. Click on the post to browse the new site of Pearson Custom Publishing.
