It gets even weirder in the Netherlands were the book industry has created a cartel. They have a minimum price that you cannot go under.

Of course what happened is that lots of people just started to import English paperbacks bypassing all the local laws. The price difference was just insane.

Dutch people in general do not have an overinflated view of their own language like in France.
