Back when I used to check on the price, it was dearer than that; perhaps it was always pricier here. I know there was demand for it. I can believe it's cheaper now, though; as you say, the interest in a century-old encyclopedia (no matter how literary) is likely to be limited as I agree that no one's interested any more.
