Thus, the typical player needs to expend 30 dollars, the GM nearly 100.  What if we broke it down by level, not topic? Book 1: Basic covers levels 1-6. It has character generation, class info up to level 6, 0-3rd level spells, 1/4 - 8 CR monsters (common/archtypical), and minor magical items. It also covers basic combat (initative, hit/dmg, dying) Book 2: Expert covers levels 7-14, as well as advanced classes (monk), 4-6th level spells, more monsters, complex combat manuvers (sunder, disarm), more complex feats, and medium magical items.  Book 3: Champion has levels 15-20. It has major magical items, Lots of complex/difficult monsters, 7-9th levels spells, Nearly-epic feats, and lots of other high-level goodies.  Book 4: Campaign Options combines some elements of Unearthed Arcana, Prestige Classes, and other complex elements of the game that are optional.  With the content slimmed down (remove lots of deadwood) you could reasonably price those books cheap and have a tiered style game not only useful for novices, but also for GMS who hate high-level gaming.</blockquote>
