   Write your own textbook and then negotiate your cut with the publisher.   
   it's not *legally* a kickback, so you won't go to jail, you'll just make   
   your students pay $200 a book and generate a "new edition" every year so   
   no one can use a used edition. The easiest way to make a new edition is   
   to rearrange the questions.
