(2) the full history of revisions for such items; and
(3) whether such items are available in other formats, including paperback and unbound, and the price the publisher would charge the bookstore for items in those formats.

(2) the information this Act requires to be placed on each course schedule regarding each textbook or supplement required or recommended for each course; and
