The book looks good, but they are charging $82.80 for the ebook(on Amazon[0] and on publisher Bloomsbury)-- I have to ask, are they serious? Is the book really worth that much? Most non-fiction books sell around 15-20$ (or cheaper), why the high price?
Either the publisher wants to gouge students who will be forced to buy it, or they want to force the book to flop by artificially setting a very high price

- wrp 4y agoFor many years, academic publishers have followed the model of high prices and small print runs. I think they just assume that only university libraries will actually buy a copy.
- bananamerica 4y agoSo I oppened this in the Amazon Brazil. The Kindle book is R$569,00. That is more than a brand new Kindle Paperwhite, and more than twice the Brazilian minimum wage. I won't provide the link, but it took me 5 seconds to find this for free :P
- bananamerica 4y agoI meant to say: it is more than half the Brazilian minimum wage.
