I'm on the cusp of buying it - the $59 for the package is probably a bit much, the $29 is alright, but definitely not an impulse buy.
I guess you've done your pricing research - but the consensus, at least on HN, seems to be that $20 is a price most people would just go for, but as you get higher, people really want to know what justifies the higher price. It is a free-market economy, I know, but if you can somehow justify the higher price, then you'll have a lot more sales, and a lot more happy people willing to spread the word.
The fact that most O'Reilly/Pragmatic Programmer/Manning books - which are generally very good quality, well-proofed and technical - are priced around the $20-$30 mark doesn't help things.
