They cost on average over $100 a volume and they go and charge the same price for their e-book versions. It makes me so mad.
If you're talking about technical manuals, textbooks, etc, they are always going to be expensive due to the high cost of production, and the very restricted market. The cost of printing is a negligible component of the cost of such a book.
