Magnet Textbooks

Most textbooks from Magnet seem to come from the publishers of Prentice Hall and Harcourt Company. Prentice Hall ist he number one leader in the world for Educational publishers. They provide books both for secondary educationa s well as higher education. Harcourt is one of the leaders in secondary education for language arts, sciences, social studies, math, and world languages. The company is one of the oldest as well, starting in the year of 1866. Not only do they have a large variety of textbooks, but they have online learning sites as well as accompanying CDs to aid in teaching the material.
Books range from as low as $60 per copy to $150 per copy. However, it is cheaper to purchase them from other sources than directly from the publisher's site. Even so, I am unsure whether or not they would be available in bulk this way.
Though other textbooks used in Magnet come from other publishers as well, these two were by far the most prominent. Perhaps this is because, for example, all of the English books usually branch off of each other to have a more constant learning aid. therefore, when one book is purchased for freshman in a subject, the book for future years in that subject are usually from the same publisher.
Textbooks are expensive!
