[Phys-L] Re: Physics Solutions Manual



8-( There goes that idea. Publishers know how important it is to keep materials in the hands of
instructors and no one else, but instructors must be careful about these materials as well.

A solution to this problem could be not creating a solutions manual in the first place, but would
instructors still adopt a book without one?

The experience I related, was the first semester that the new edition of
the book was available! The time lag is apparently now a matter of
months!
