Then they would rather buy two $20 books then one $50 book? You do know that the $50 book is almost 500 pages and in color, and that those two $20 books would barely break 250 pages together and B&W? How fast do you read through those $20 books? right, twice as fast as through the $50 book... The initial point that was made was about impulse buying, not about value. Buying an $20 book if your budget is only $50-$75 is pretty stupid (thats 27%-40% of your budget)!How you can say that big books do better, check the initial orders of retailers and the reorders/backorders.IMHO FLGs are inefficient, i have to go to one, have to look for my product, hope it's in, wait in line, speak with actual people (oh the horror in that!), pay full price or close to full price, go back home, etc. It can be usefull when one is located on your route home, but that's often not the case. I for one buy 90% of my stuff online, the other 10% on the way home from work (central station has a freerecordshop that sells cds, dvds, and computer games, also a bookstore). Sometimes i go shopping, you know, one of those days when you actually go out and think to your self, i have this wad of cash burning in my pocket, what for crazy <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />e will i buy this time...Psion, most publishers do think that they have the best content (although i wonder what kind of weed the guys at moongoose were smoking when they put out some of their books). I do agree that content is very important...</blockquote>
