I wonder how many NH readers would benefit from reading in that book (a lot I guess) and also how many have no immediate access or consider the asked price unreasonable (probably fewer, but still many).
I would benefit from many things for which I consider the asked price to be unreasonable. I still do not expect to get them for free.
And yet, how many of those things have a fixed monopoly prices, disconnected from marginal costs, that has been set to fit a market with consumers with a completely different median income than yours? Are you in a third world country eg.?
