Your "complaint" is one that is almost as old as college itself. So I have some news for you. It is not the bookstore or publisher to decide on what book to use for a particular class. It is the Professor teaching the class or the Department, most of the time a combination of the two. So your real complaint about them selecting books should go to the same teachers who you think are great.
Not so much as your level of a Community College, but wait until you get into a full 4-Year University. You will find that sometimes the same text book you are purchasing was written by the professor of the class. How about that for a conflict of interest. Heck many years later I sill have a few textbooks that they refused to buy back because it was now "outdated".
