PHB was $19.95 and the 3.5 PHB was $29.95.  Most of the other 3.x books have been more costly than stuff was in 2nd ed.Some people will point out that the 2nd Ed MM was $29.95, but it also almost had just as many monsters as the MM 1, 2, and 3 in 3.5 which all cost around $90 together.  While some people can spend at will for whatever they want, some of us can't.  It sucks.</blockquote>
