How "fair" is it to demand someone work for those unwilling or unable to pay them for their work?
I agree completely that some books are priced more than I want to pay for them. When you and I draw that line on any given book may differ. That's the market in action.
However, I applaud those who command high prices and GET those high prices. I applaud those who PAY those high prices. The ability to make a living, and the chance to REALLY do well by writing gives people incentive to create the books I enjoy reading.
So even when I choose to not buy a book because of it's price, I'm glad the book exists. I'm not injured in any way by books existing that are too expensive for me to buy.
