I believe most of the "classics" are that simply because there were so few decent books available up until the last 100 years. Prior to that few had A book, well enough lots of books. I truly believe if many of those so-called classics were released today for the first time they would amount to nothing. But that's just me as I find most of the classics to be drivel.
As for prices of books, I could care less what they want to price them. I simply know what I will pay and if it is more than that, forgettaboutit. My biggest disappointment is the fact that ebooks are not much, and in some cases not at all, cheaper than physical paper books. That I just don't get.
