[Athen] Data on amount spent on textbooks in higher education

[Kaela Parks]

SPARC <https://sparcopen.org/> is a great resource with lots of good data.

This GAO report from 2013 <https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-13-368> may
also be useful - page 6 has a chart showing the increase in textbook costs
relative to the consumer price index but there is a lot more in the report
as well.

I hope this info is helpful,
Kaela
