  1. Yes print cost is not the only cost (and nobody exept DE will ever know / and i do not fail to say it ^^ ), but as to say this is not for us ( like luxury product for exemple ) is true because of the price , but sad when they made this book for the community and celebrating the 10 years , we want this book and we express our unhapiness about the price who make it less accessible . maybe it will be a drop in the ocean and it will change nothing ... (digital edition will be an option , but i don't think they will do it )
  2. Yes value is subjective , from both side ( this video on the subject is great by the way : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNtKXWNKGN8 ) DE gouging price , we will never know all the details of the price , but there is one that we can estimate and it is the cost of printing : for 2000 Copy ,color print, about the same estimate size ,440 page hard cover , quality paper , custom gold stamping , it come to 35 - 40 $ per book , and the more you print the cheaper it get . Knowing that i was expecting 100-120 $ for the final cost , but like you say value is subjective , and if it does not sell well ( or too much stock ) the price will maybe drop
  3. Hard to say , there is no official size , to compare :/ , (150 $ for the book , here it is +-64 $ crazy difference ! ) Of course it is a lot of work , and i wanted to buy it , even if it was expensive ( but that much :/ , with the Heirloom collection it seem to me they are trying to push what they can get away with , my though maybe not true) , as for the shipping cost , yes i know it will be expensive , but me getting heavy stuff directly from japan it was about 20-30 E shipping cost , i wonder why it is so much expensive ( maybe a taxe/ custom story special for europe ) That can be a option , but there is no garanties to get it and /or in a good shape , + that fear of missing out -_- , how many time will this be disponible , i can put some money on the side to get it but i don't know if i will be able to buy it when i have enough
  4. Hello , First of all , i know it is a business and they need to gain money to exist ( and that is fine ) , but let talk about the price and possible fix about shipping : The price 180 $ , the book is big , 440 ish pages it seem right , now let look this book that i own : Genesis from sebastiao salgado about the same size , more page (520 ) almost all pictures , great paper quality ---> the price 60 E ( 64 $ ) , ok it is mostly in black and white , but printing in color don't add too much of a cost , so i dont know how much profit there is in the sale of the artbook , but the price is way too much , it will not change ( because people already buy it ) , maybe a discount later ^^' As for the shipping cost , 76 $ for Europe so 256 $ total , that is way tooo much , a solution to this is to print it direcly in Europe , asia , ext... these shipping cost are absurd !
