But I can get the 7th edition that worked just fine for the students last semester for $20 instead of the $95 for the 8th edition that only changed two sentences. No, you must have the 8th edition for my class...

I'm convinced there are kickbacks involved somewhere. It may be at the university level, considering it's common that professors teaching the same class (different sections) use the same textbook. It's the explanation that makes the most sense for requiring the current edition when the subject matter hasn't changed one bit.
