I also have no regrets about paying full retail price for this one
Of course many of those books I bought were at Amazon discount prices, but I still find that, for my mix of technical and general interest books, the average price seems fair, given the amount of work the author and/or editor had to put into making it.Comment

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostA quick glance at my Amazon order history over the last six months suggests that I pay between £5 and £40 for books across a wide variety of genres. Off the top of my head, I'd guess that I'm happy to pay £7 - £12 for a book that might be of interest to a wide audience, and have no qualms about paying much more for a good technical tome - particularly if I know the author personally, and therefore have a good idea of the likely quality of the work.

Soemtimes I visit a bookshop and if I like the book will note the author and ISBN - take that to my local library and order it there for gratis - been doing this for quite some time.Comment
