With Grand Central Publishing’s mass market paperback edition of To Kill a Mockingbird set to go out of print next month, HarperCollins is introducing a special price offer for schools on its trade paperback edition. Beginning April 27, HC will begin what is essentially a rebate program with its accounts that sell directly to K-12 schools, enabling them to buy its $14.99 trade paperback for what amounts to the mass market price of $8.99.
Weren't the schools getting the mass paper back at about 50% off?

If so, this just means that Harper has doubled the price to schools.

Not to mention increasing the cost from half off $15. Which means that this isn't a discount at all, but an actual increase over the previous deal.
