Outrageous book prices: one post in a long series

If you were publishing a book on the philosophy and history of history-writing, and actually wanted people to read it, wouldn't you price your ebook edition to encourage sales?

And not price it at 70 POUNDS???

I notice that the page count is 274. So that works out to be over 25p per virtual page of prose (probably pricier given that those pages include front matter, etc.).

Outrageous and out of touch. Unsurprising, though!
