<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nathan B., post: 4553821, member: 112852&quot;]Yes, I do understand.&nbsp; But when I see the high prices that so many books are being advertised at (I know they&#039;re not necessarily selling at such prices), it does seem like there is a real supply problem, even in terms of used books.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A while ago, I was desperately trying to hunt down a copy of volume 1 of the <i>Testimonia Numaria</i>.&nbsp; There was not even one single copy being sold, at any price, in any condition, at the time, anywhere in the world, though there were a few copies of volume 2.&nbsp; (There is one vol. 1 right now that I can see, but it&#039;s too expensive for me at the moment.)</p><p><br /></p><p>To me it looks like there is still demand for these kinds of high quality, standard reference tools, and I really wish that the publishers would do as you have suggested and &quot;print on demand,&quot; or even print small runs again.&nbsp; Alternatively, they could sell the books as e-books.&nbsp; That would not involve any cost for shipping and storage, and they could sell the e-book as many times as they liked without losing anything in the process.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In short, without their customers, the book publishers would not exist, but I don&#039;t feel they are really taking care of us when they could easily do so while helping their bottom line in the process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
