I heard it was because of all the people in the publishing
"middle" that have to take a cut, so to make money, jack the
price. Which is why the new ideas on Publishing on demand,
and the internet allowing small presses to reach a bigger
audience, are such good advances to help bring costs
down.
On topic, because high prices are a CRIME!
