[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 365439, member: 518"] Chris... Thanx for the info. Yes I know about the relative and scaling prices of books based on size , etc..there were a TON of arguments here at ENworld about the WOTC products, 'member? :) I'm also sure it's a very high quality book regarding content. Everyone seems to think so. It's just very expensive compared to other books. As I said my Deluxe full color hardbound of Silver age Sentinels was $44.95 (american). I don't know exact page count but I'm pretty sure it's around the 300 mark (at work..can't go look). Kenzer's hardcover PG has a near 300 page count is B&W and is $29.95. COdex of Erde is about $32( IIRC)..about 300 pages, B&W hardcover. Necropolis..$30..B&W..near 300 p. Decipher's LotR RPG is $40, 300 p, full color and a hardcover, and they have a licensing fee to boot!. Comparitively against larger D20/D&D companies who admittedly are getting lower prices due to volume (Kenzer & Necro/SSS) I can understand. Against smalle companies though, like GoO (who produce some really beautiful books, though they are certainly a small company) and Troll Lord, BotR and (M&M more-so) is still VERY expensive. That's not meant as a "slam" just an observation. I'm not trying to get personal..I understand you feel you charge what you have to charge to remain health and in business...that's cool...I just feel that the book is overpriced compared to what my $40 will get me elsewhere...Now that doesn't mean I'm "cheap"....I spend a ton of money on RPG products (most I only use bits and pieces from)...but I do like to get a good value for the money... DLE SAS is a great value for $45 and I didn't even bat an eyelash at that price..same with LotR, but I'd back up on ANY 300 Page hardcover B&W book that costs 40 smackers, not just yours. Just my opinion... [/QUOTE]
