[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9269810, member: 59816"] Yeah, like I said before - only us FLGSes get stuck with MSRP. All the big guys can make 2 dollars per sale, sell a hundred thousand of them, and make 200 grand, whereas I get to sell a handful of them and pay my employees who rang them in. (Numbers exaggerated - I'm sure Amazon makes more than 2 bucks per sale, at least most of the time! And I will sell more than a 'handful' of them, I'm sure.) Oh, and I'm not as hurt as I sound - I like doing it the way I do it. But still... I DO think that the overall trend of the last 10-15 years of jacking up MSRP but then having the vast majority of the print run sell for less is... not actually a good way to do business. But what do I know? At any rate, 60 USD won't be too bad for this book, as these things go. I don't think they've said the page count, other than to say that it is the Biggest PHB Ever, IIRC.
