Not necessarily. It is of course just me, but if, for example, the recent Classic titles on Fw 200 and Do 215 were only available at the cover prices, and with £16-18 shipping cost per each, I wouldn't buy any of them, as I have very limited interest in these aircraft types. However, Amazon pricing and shipping cost policies allowed me to afford purchasing both these books.
