As a publisher I can say that books are sold at far less than we could possibly sell them for without making a loss, in bookshops and online. The price you quote would be impossible for a publisher - it costs far more than that to print and deliver a book. I can see them from resellers on Amazon. Often they are 'loss leaders' - books sold at a loss to tempt people to buy from that seller and to go to their website where they might become a loyal customer and buy books that give the shop a profit.
