Right, that's too high. Booksellers need to find a way to cut costs. Perhaps that means only putting sample copies on shelves, and then printing a customer copy on demand when they go to checkout. This would allow them to carry more titles with less storage space.
In any case, ebooks eliminate this problem. And can even eliminate the retailer completely if they don't get with the program.
