I reviewed a book that retails for $12.95 (no ebook available), that was 49 pages, in softcover, by a first time author, by outskirts press.

You can't even find it on the shelf because the spine can't fit the title.

Not to mention the cover of the book is almost a rip-off (it's the same image) of Handling the Undead, and Rot & Ruin
It sounds like required reading for a collage course. They always charge students outrageous prices. When looking through the eBook lists, especially in the nonfiction section, you can always spot the college texts by prices over about $35USD. That's my theory anyway.
