School Textbook Analysis

The two publishers whom most of our class's textbooks come from are Prentice Hall and Holt, Rinehart & Winston. While both publishers make a variety of textbooks for all subjects, it seems that our high school gets most of its science books from Prentice Hall (AP Biology, AP Chemistry, etc.) Other books for subjects like history come from the other publisher: Holt, Rinehart & Winston. It's interesting that our school doesn't buy from a variety of publishers; we like to stick to the same ones, maybe for reassurance for quality and good service. These two publishers get a lot of our money, especially prentice hall, whose books seem very pricey (the AP chemistry book is about 100 dollars).
