Editor's Note: Textbooks in U.S. schools are expensive. Although prices have decreased from previous levels, the 2026 Student Watch survey, published by the National Association of College Stores (NACS) and covering approximately 11,177 students, found that the average spending on required course materials for the 2025–26 academic year still reached $338.
It's worth noting that some of these textbooks were already available for free (such as those from OpenStax, etc.).
