It is a fact that manufacturers and publishers can charge the general public twice or three times more or less than they charge for the wholesale price. They also can directly sell their products to the public for more or less than retailers selling the same product (though they will face the ire of their retailers if they charge less).

So you consider the wholesale price to be THE price, instead of a discounted one. I consider the list price to be THE price. If you look at the OP again you will see that the 300% is comes from the the library having to pay $120 instead of the $40 retail price. But if you consider the wholesale price to be the actual price of the book, then the libraries are being charged 600%.
