She gets about £1book including her agent fees, plus less than £1 to produce in China, the rest is soaked up in marketing, distribution and sellers margins, to a hardback list price of £10 or so. There are therefore plenty of opportunities to drop prices to the floor and still cover costs and a small profit, or sell at £10 and make an obscene profit margin.
Life was so much simpler in the 30s and not just with cars.

Not sure what is happening but last week I bought my copy on eBay from a UK bookshop at A$68 post free, yesterday another eBay seller had it at A$54 post free !
If it keeps dropping they will soon pay us to take one !!
