This isn't just true for textbooks, and the phenomenon isn't new. Often, books are available first in other parts of the world before they're available here. My original copy of the paperback version of Julia Child's Mastering vol.1 was smuggled in to the U.S. from Canada. (And that story goes WAY back.)

According to the article, you can often purchase college textbooks overseas
(e.g., in the U.K.) for well below domestic prices, even including shipping.
This is obviously relevant for any parent trying to fund their child's
college education, but the tie-in for us is that this may also be true for
certain computer or software books and for other books related to the
writing and editing professions (particularly if those books are also sold
overseas). Worth a look!
