If there is only one of something, and the provider has total control, it seems like a monopoly to me.

That's not generally what people mean when they use the word "monopoly".
Just as with any other commercial product, you can choose to buy the book at the price it's sold at, or spend your money elsewhere. I really don't think it's reasonable to claim that the publisher is behaving immorally or unfairly if they don't offer the book at a price that's as low as you personally believe it should be.
If you think it's too expensive, you could buy a different book, or borrow it from the library instead.
