Let's Go is a series of American-English based EFL (English as a foreign language) textbooks developed by Oxford University Press and first released in 1990. While having its origins in ESL teaching in the US, and then as an early EFL resource in Japan,[1] the series is currently in general use for English-language learners in over 160 countries around the world.[2] The series is now in its 5th edition, which was released in 2019, although the 3rd series is still in print.
The Bluebook is published jointly by the Columbia Law Review, Harvard Law Review, University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and Yale Law Journal. A spiral-bound copy of the 21st edition costs $45 and is 365 pages long. There is also a digital version.

In recent years, the efforts of Carl Malamud to make parts of the Bluebook standards public have run afoul of the manual\u2019s publishers. When Malamud posted elements of the Bluebook online and proposed publishing a new digital edition of the Bluebook, he received a letter from the Bluebook\u2019s lawyers cautioning him that moving forward with the project might \u201Cimperil the economic viability of the Bluebook\u201D and requesting that he take down what he already posted.9
The Bluebook\u2019s profits are cyclic. Each cycle peaks in the year immediately following the publication of a new edition.13 Since 2000, a new edition has been released every five years\u2014in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020.
Brody also explains that \"[t]he production of each new edition of The Bluebook is also a significant financial undertaking\u201D, \u201Cthe law reviews bear the salaries of two permanent staff members\u201D, and \u201C[n]o endowment, grant or award funds The Bluebook, and the represented law schools contribute no material support to the enterprise,\u201D all of which seems to suggest a degree of risk borne by the law reviews that is not entirely consistent with historical profit margins and the repeated profitability of new editions.
The Bluebook has been profitable for the law reviews that own it in the last two decades. The fact that most new law students get a copy and large numbers of legal professionals will always buy the latest edition ensures that it will keep bringing in money. However, while sizable, the Bluebook\u2019s profits are actually not stratospheric, especially considering what other textbooks make. 2ff7e9595c
