It may be that these very expensive and specialized books have a market, but it's quite different than the general book-purchasing public. Walk around a large B&N or Borders, and you will not see any of these books; but you will see thousands of non-fiction titles at more normal prices.
So the question then is, does the Sony store really have the 48,000 titles that vivaldirules counts, or is there really a small fraction of that number of books for the regular bookstore, along with a parallel professionals-only store of no interest to the general public?
