- natrius 10y agoThis is the book I didn't know I was looking for. Thanks.

- toyg 10y agoHardcover: £25.99 Kindle: £23.99 Does it really cost £2.00 to print a hardcover and ship it across the Atlantic, or is MITPress taking the metaphorical mickey?
- m-i-l 10y agoThere was a big discussion about the relative price of eBooks on HN recently at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11207209 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11207209 . Points include (i) big publishing houses trying to prevent discounting of eBooks, and (ii) physical production not being the main cost of books.

- miraj 10y agoThanks. This looks like a good read!
