Amazon has all the school supplies kids need, with great deals for school age kids from kindergarten through high school, as well as for college students. I was amazed to see notebooks, glue, pens, and erasers starting at just one penny!
A penny will even get you a whole package of pencils! And don’t forget pencil cases, crayons, rulers, and scissors! Really, every one of these smaller necessities is available on Amazon. Of course, there is the shipping fee of three or four dollars for a one cent item, which wouldn’t make most purchases that cheap, after all. However, most, if not all, of these items are available for Super Saver Shipping. What this means is that if your entire order totals over $25, then shipping is free. Getting over the $25 hump will be easy to do, even if you have just one child.
So forget about shipping costs. You’re not going to have any. At these prices, I’d grab all the one cent items I could in order to keep from having to go back for more supplies later on in the school year.

But in my opinion this kind of tricks are just too dirty. With publishing a textbook we should promote knowledge, science, responsibility, not mere running after profits...
Anyway - knowledge is still the power:)

This means half of textbook is empty and kid has to write, draw, whatever on these pages (with question, partly drawn schemes etc.). This means at the end of the school year this text-workbook is useless for his younger brother or sister or anybody else. Next generation has to buy new books.
This strategy proved to make big profits for some publishers in initial years, but now many of them are in financial troubles. It seems these kind of tricks are not enough for running a solid business...
I hope I didn't stray too far from the subject:)
Thanks for the info!
