Corruption in textbook-adoption proceedings: 'Judging Books by Their Covers'

  We came to a certain book, part of a set of three supplementary books published by
  the same company, and they asked me what I thought about it.

  I said, "The book depository didn't send me that book, but the other two were nice."

  Someone tried repeating the question: "What do you think about that book?"

  "I said they didn't send me that one, so I don't have any judgment on it."

  The man from the book depository was there, and he said, "Excuse me; I can explain
  that. I didn't send it to you because that book hadn't been completed yet.
  There's a rule that you have to have every entry in by a certain time, and the
  publisher was a few days late with it. So it was sent to us with just the covers,
  and it's blank in between. The company sent a note excusing themselves and
  hoping they could have their set of three books considered, even though the third
  one would be late."

  It turned out that the blank book had a rating by some of the other members! They
  couldn't believe it was blank, because [the book] had a rating. In fact, the
  rating for the missing book was a little bit higher than for the two others. The
  fact that there was nothing in the book had nothing to do with the rating.

Two things are required for this to happen:

1)There has to be a Mark Shuttleworth of text book collaboration.

2)e-readers need to have color, be 8x10 and some what cheap.

Part II is basically done. Any successful founders want to do part 1?
