Why Is My Book So Expensive? The Cost of a Scholarly Monograph
A post from Feeding the Elephant: A Forum for Scholarly Communications.
Authors often ask publishers, “Why is my book so expensive?” The short answer: it really isn’t that expensive. The long answer: your scholarly book might cost more than commercially published nonacademic books because academic presses are spreading the cost of producing a title across a smaller number of print units. Each unit therefore has to be priced higher to enable the press to recoup the cost of production.
