Actually that's not 100% accurate. I have bought hard covers once they were moved to the "bargin book" section cause the paper back had come out, and they were usually priced lower than the paperback.

We have also bought the Harry Potter books in hard cover. But if I recall correctly they were only about $12 each not $25. (We bought 5 copies of Deathly Hallows and 1 audio version on CD.)

I've never felt they were worth the price either...especially once they passed the $20 mark. Any hardbacks I have, and I do have a few...Cussler, Jance, Robb, and Rowling...I paid a max price of $18 for. Usually closer to $14-$16. These $25 hardbacks? I will never buy.

The hardbacks I'm buying right now? Copies of Little House on the Prairie to replace my 20+ yr old worn out paperbacks. Price? Around $12 each.
