Actually in the 80's at the prices then current, it was estimated by the
publishers that the used book resales required them to up the price of a
new text by $7 - $10, because they had to amortize the cost of production
of the book over a shorter new book sales life. This of course allows the
used book folks to charge more, too.
Do we really think it costs as much as a used book price to bring that book
back into the market? If so, then the new books are not outrageously
priced; it seems to me.
