course materials may also be limited given their uniqueness to a

particular course on a particular campus.

In 2005, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we reported

that new college textbook prices had risen at twice the rate of annual

inflation over the course of nearly two decades, increasing at an average

of 6 percent per year and following close behind increases in tuition and

fees.8

Figure 1: Estimated Increases in New College Textbook Prices, College Tuition and Fees, and Overall Consumer Price Inflation, 2002 to 2012

More recent data show that textbook prices continued to rise from

2002 to 2012 at an average of 6 percent per year, while tuition and fees

increased at an average of 7 percent and overall prices increased at an

average of 2 percent per year. As reflected in figure 1 below, new

textbook prices increased by a total of 82 percent over this time period,

while tuition and fees increased by 89 percent and overall consumer

prices grew by 28 percent.

8These price increases occurred from December 1986 to December 2004.
