In the UK that was called *Retail price maintenance* i.e. price fixing - and if I am right was judged illegal many years ago. |
No, the UK Net Book Agreement fixed the
retail prices of books, what the retailer charged the customer. That exactly the opposite of what I said, where the publisher sets a
wholesale price for the book, and allows the retailer to charge the customer whatever price they like.
