[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6270251, member: 37579"] $50 was the MSRP of the collector's books released the last couple years. And that's the price you pay for most other RPG hardcovers from smaller publishers. However, the reprints and smaller RPGs likely have tiny print runs. And Paizo still manages to put out $40 hardbacks. So, unless this is a giant 500-page monstrosity it will feel like a cash grab. If it's under 400-pages I will have to think long and hard about being able to justify the purchase, especially if there's the other books the same price to also purchase. It might also depend on the content. If this is all the rules to play and optional rules, and the DMG is a big book of optional rules it doesn't hurt the wallet nearly as much. Ditto if there us an SRD with content so you can stagger the purchase of the monster book, if there are no monsters included. I'd love if this was a 500-page book akin to the [I]Rules Cyclopedia[/I] with monsters and DMing rules, making it all you need to play (if only for 5 levels before needing more monsters), with everything else being gravy.
