The $ 32.- is nothing you can fault anybody for. The cost is around $ 28.- and I have to pack it and need all that material to do so in a way the book is not damaged.
$ 125.- are right now Euro 84.-! Frank's book - as an example because it was the first in that "new scientific series" - did cost (and still does) Euro 90.- = $ 133.- w/o shipping.
The reason for the price is:
- the print/binding quality which is extremly good with Franks, Toms and mine
- the low number of books printed
- full color adds immensely to the cost
If there would be a market for 20,000 books, the price would be a lot less.
But look at it this way: If you invest $ 125.- in my book and avoid buying a fake RK for $ 7000.- you are far ahead. The same applies for the Flak book and Tom's Close Combat book. All are priced lower than one badge in question.
And they are fun to read and look at!
