At 2000+ pages I don't think this could be profitably sold at $10. And I don't think most beginning Latin classes need or would require such a comprehensive resource. It is a specialist book.

For $15 those students could get a 400+ page Latin desk dictionary, which would suit their needs and budget. That's what I have to aid in translating Roman coin legends.
