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.True, but another point of consideration is that in real terms, with Amazon and Target and other such discount book retailers means that the 2014 and 2024 books are procurable at an actually cheaper rate than those older books.
(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.
