If a book was produced in a factory, and I would consume it like I drink a Coke, then I would think about it in almost the same manner. I would think, why is a bottle of Coca Cola more expensive than a bottle of milk, which is grown within a living creature. Or if it was just a mass production of a group of authors writing the same story again and again, then consumed by readers just passing their time ...

But a book is nothing like that to me, it's an artwork, a passion sometimes, a single piece. How long has it been developed and maturated? How many hearts has an author to spend it into his masterpiece? A book of this format is not consumed, but sometimes lived with. So who comes to give such a book its price? Who goes to evaluate such a book?
