§ 721. Pricing transparency. 1. To ensure pricing transparency, all
publishers of college textbooks shall, on request, make readily

versions of a textbook or set of textbooks, except custom textbooks or

prospective adopter is teaching a course, including supplemental
materials, both when sold together or separately from a textbook.
