That might be a fair price. I don't know how much it usually takes to convert an older book, which probably doesn't have a nice electronic source file that can be easily converted to Kindle/ePub formats, but let's say $5,000, since it's a nearly 1200 page book, with illustrations. If it's not a book commonly used as a textbook, it might only sell a few hundred copies, which would barely make the publisher a profit. There is a review of the Kindle edition, though, and it's a poorly done version. No table of contents, and the resolution of the maps is poor.
