4.0 out of 5 stars
Worthwhile, but not worth the price,
This review is from: De Raptu Prosperpinae (Oxford Classical Monographs) (Hardcover)
I'm doing an evil thing, reviewing a book I haven't read. I'd like to know why academic books are priced so high on Amazon (though seldom quite THIS high). I take it academic publishers are content with their library sales, and offer their books here just as a gesture, and not much of a gesture at that. We can't even "look inside," as we can with ordinary Amazon offerings. Given any kind of discretion at all, like not copying the title page, one could probably get this book for half price by Xeroxing it at a library. Ordering it blind by mail order is nearly out of the question, and I assume it sells very little indeed that way. What exactly is going on? |
