I think that publishers should be willing to sell their books for what ever they can get for them. I do not think they should demand that the retailers have to sell at a specific price. If they are going to do that they might as well just sell at retail and cut out the booksellers.
What if grocery stores had to sell their products at a price set by the wholesaler? Everybody would pay the same price for their groceries no matter where you shopped or lived.

Ok, that changes nothing though. The end product you buy and sell can be reproduced by others. The same goes for food, except food also comes with an additional issue in that it’s essential for our survival. Neither jewelry nor books are.
