It is a "resource".

Likewise, I paid £250 (almost $400) for the "Oxford Latin Dictionary" (the definitive dictoinary of Classical Latin). Specialist books have small a market and will always be expensive. The OLD is never going to be sold for £10.
Yet, at $400, it'll never have a wide circulation, while at $10 it could be a required text for every Latin class taught (since some kids do still learn it, that is thousands a year just in the US). Not that a dictionary that translates either spanish/english or "chinese"/English (two way, with quick lookup, at least on the english side) wouldn't probably sell many more.

At 2000+ pages I don't think this could be profitably sold at $10. And I don't think most beginning Latin classes need or would require such a comprehensive resource. It is a specialist book.

For $15 those students could get a 400+ page Latin desk dictionary, which would suit their needs and budget. That's what I have to aid in translating Roman coin legends.
