$64 is not unreasonable for a specialty book of this type and length. This isn't a textbook but a niche book for buffs.

I spent over $1000 on my 10-volume set of Roman Imperial Coinage and just spent $500 on the 4-volume set of SNG von Aulock. If I hadn't already bought these, I'd spend close to that for an ebook version so I wouldn't have to have a huge shelf of heavy books and could refer to them from anywhere. And even though I've bought it already, I would still buy an ebook version of RIC volume 5, even if it was $100 because that's my area of specialization.

This is not a simple fiction story folks.

I do agree this post doesn't belong in the deals section. It's more a Newsy or Discussion item.
