I always wondered why there weren't supplement books/websites of practice problems that were separate from the text book. Seems like an easy way to make money. I guess because it makes it harder to pass on to the students.

There are! Some books have “solution manuals” or “companions” with worked solutions to a subset of the problems. There are also those big compendia of “5000 problems in linear algebra” or whatever.

It’s true that these are most common for big, intro-to-intermediate classes, and less common elsewhere, but there are a lot kicking around....

There are a lot of "problem books" where I live in Bulgaria.
