SUMMARY

Murray Spiegel's Schaum's Outline book commands a high price due to its out-of-print status, with used copies selling for at least $60 on platforms like Amazon. While many other Schaum's books by Spiegel are also out of print, they remain inexpensive, indicating that factors beyond availability influence pricing.

$14 is expensive?
 
That is pretty cheap compared to what they are charging on Amazon for used copies. They are going for at least $60.
 
Integral: $14 is expensive?
May I ask, where is there a copy for that price? The book is out of print.
 
It is out of print? That explains why it is so expensive. Supply goes down (well stays the same really) while demand goes up. That means that price goes up. Using my High School Economics- my teacher would be so proud.
 
Norman: It is out of print? That explains why it is so expensive.
In this particular case it doesn't, since several other Schaum's books by Spiegel are also out-of-print and they are dirt cheap. In fact, most out-of-print Schaum's books are dirt cheap.
 
I just looked at your link.

But I didn't scroll down!
