"A Science Of Operations" sounds great.
But can someone explain to me why the hard cover costs $120 (Amazon), and the paperback $180 (Amazon, B&N)?
It's 342 pages, so it's not like it's one of those encyclopedic tomes. Not that I try justifying a price-per-page, but what is it, a collection of expensive papers in print form?
- tpetricek 11y agoIt is an academic publication by Springer. That's why - academic publishing is just crazy. (Anybody around here doing a start-up that would make it obsolete?) I would, of course, never suggest downloading the PDF from unofficial sources, but I could completely see why people are doing that.
