Of course the topic is neutral enough and large subject words in the title, so I bet the local universities have it soon.
Sure, they probably will. And that is what the publisher is likely to count on. But this price means that four other books, perhaps in less popular fields that ours, will not be bought, because the price of this book is five times the normal price. It is perhaps less extreme than in the case of many journals, but what commercial publishers are doing here may well be similarly destructive.
