Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman Equates JEWISH BOOKSELLERS WITH YESHIVA STUDENTS

Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman, in his first edition of his Kobetz Iggerot, equates Bookdealers and those learning Torah. See photo here


The price of the book was 5 Zloty, but for booksellers and Yeshiva Students; just 3.

    1. I'm sure it was, but I am trying to convince myself otherwise.
      40% is still pretty much the standard discount given to booksellers today, though I am not familiar with any discounts for Yeshiva students from today's publishers
