AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the pricing of a specific Schaum's Outline book by Murray Spiegel, which is noted for being significantly more expensive than other titles in the series. While some participants express surprise at the $14 price point, others highlight that used copies on Amazon can reach prices of at least $60. The conversation reveals that the book is out of print, which typically drives prices up due to decreased supply and increased demand. However, a counterpoint is made that many other out-of-print Schaum's books by Spiegel are available at much lower prices, suggesting that factors beyond just being out of print may influence this particular book's 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.

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!
