That's hardly tantamount to leaving the hobby.That's something I never really considered until recently. I mean I gleefully buy large books with a good price per page ratio, like Book of the Righteous. Though it's costly, you get a lot for what you pay.Recently I did run into a book that I wanted that I had to walk away from because I considered the price ridiculous. Name, d20 BESM. The book is relatively slender, about the size of Mutants & Masterminds. However:- The B&W version is as costly as the full color M&M.- The color version is about 20 dollars more.I consider than unnacceptable.There are some publishers out there who are putting out books for more than what I perceive their worth is. I base that on a relative evaluation, however. But, I think you have to. I think if you price out a book like BotR or Stargate SG-1, you should really do a comparison to price per page counts of books in similar categories, as those books aren't the really "overpriced" ones. It's the ones that sell 48 page books for the price everyone else is selling 96 page books for, or 96 page books for the price everyone is selling 128 page books for. Or, as the above example, 128 page black and white books for the price others are selling full color books for.</blockquote>
