They could be.
But, more likely, they've drunk the big publisher's Kool-Aid and think that they'll make more money by raising the prices. After all, the government (where most schools are) has plenty of money, and TKAM has been in the curriculum for decades.
What the heirs have ignored is that the schools will make a decision based on the reality that they don't have a lot of money, and will choose a different book to use.
The heirs will also discover that when a new physical book gets too pricey, the used versions start selling like hotcakes, and there are
lot of used copies of TKAM out there.
