Handbook of the Mathematics of the Arts and Sciences (link.springer.com) 1 points by auggierose 4y ago ↗ HN
[–] auggierose 4y ago ↗ I am just wondering how that price tag happened (£700 for e-book, £750 for hardcover) [–] webmaven 4y ago ↗ The prices in USD are $999 and $1099, respectively. [–] auggierose 4y ago ↗ Seems to be some special Springer "Handbook" pricing :-D, see also:https://link.springer.com/referencework/10.1007/978-3-319-07... [–] raincom 4y ago ↗ Majority of academic books are purchased by university libraries. And these libraries want hardcover books. In this case, this book as 3000 pages, almost 10 books long. So, it is 100 USD for a 300 pages book.
