Re: JG 2 - Volume Three

I think I've given examples of authors who put just as much time and effort in their work, and still their books are not even nearly as expensive. Perhaps their publishing arrangements are better?
Anyway, I consider the argument "if you don't like the price, write the book yourself" rather cheap. Are you missing the point? I too admire anyone who tackles a whole Geschwader's history over six years, but only 300 copies sold says something, doesn't it? Especially, when it means no plans for another volume in English.
It's so easy to say, 'this book is worth its price'. Sure, in terms of time, money and effort invested, it's probably worth $100, $500 or more. So what? How many people are willing to pay that much?
