In this case I have actually looked for Victoria Holt and they are not extremely common at least.

1 penny at Amazon being not extremely common to you?

The rest of her books seem to be in the $2-$4 range used, with several of those used prices being Prime Eligible (and thus shipping free).
So my point about a $4-5 sweet spot still stands, in my opinion.
As for hardcovers, do you mean they have the most profit margin or that those hardcover profits are the majority of publisher's yearly income? Because I do not think those two are the same thing. I believe the former as an obvious truth; the latter, I'm not so sure about.
