Re:Textbooks and O'Reilley (Score 1)

I'm a teaching assistant for a sophomore-level languages and translation course at Georgia Tech. We use Levine, Mason, and Brown's _Lex & Yacc_ in the course. Unfortunately, we've had difficulty getting O'Reilly to support our use of its texts. The publisher offered us two desktop copies of the book for use among 20 TAs and 350 students. It was only through the instructor's persistence that we were able to secure one desktop copy per TA. O'Reilly must adopt a more teacher-friendly system if they want to see wider use of their texts in college curricula.
