Most of us wouldn't think too much about quality of content if we spent $5 or less--do that once a month for a year. $60 total. A single item of $60 would make us pause--like considering the new pair of shoes each spring (once a year). The degree of cost will make most consumers cautious, I think--ever buy a new car!. (The higher the price, the sterner the consumer criticism.) Even then, consumer behaviour can skew wildly when word-of-mouth, testimonials, advertising and popular media get involved...Price per page is not enough of a measure of a book's value. Product content and consumer budget, 2 quite independent parameters, play IMO vital roles in the success of the sales of a book like BotR.I'll go out on a limb WRT BotR:i) cost per page - good value;ii) content - good value (really good IMHO);iii) budgetary effect - poor (playing $60 in a lump sum is not trivial for those on tight budgets--which seems the case for many many gamers!).(Ya know, I'm tired, so I'm not entirely certain my comments are as cohesive as I would like. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> I hope ppl can follow what I'm trying to say?) I am still pleased with The Book of the Righteous in spite of its price. BTW: once in awhile I am willing to spend a little extra to get what I want.Cheers, it's Friday the 13th! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />-W.</blockquote>
