In Reply to: Illustrated History of High-End Audio posted by ruxtonvet on July 13, 2014 at 16:07:55:
My point was that by not allowing the book to be sold to libraries (if that is possible) where more people would have access to it and by restricting the sale so that discounters such as Amazon are not able to sell it they are demonstrating that they are primarily interest in money and not in educating the audio public. The price is secondary to the above although by placing such a high price they again are limiting it's distribution and the audio publics change to enjoy the book. To connect the dots this is analogous to the high end skewing it's sales and marketing to the 1% or less of the public that has the financial resources to buy their products even assuming they were interested in high end audio.
