I know that this may not be the exact appropriate place to talk about this , but this forum is the only forum I frequent on ks.com , the people who visit this board (you people) the regulars, I consider my proverbial internet friends who's advice I take very seriously and who's attitudes and humor how they may very , I take to heart , so where else would I discuss something like this?



The new "Rhacodactylus: A Complete Guide to their Selection and Care" book, I understand that all the people that poured their

Heart and soul into this publication NEED and must be compensated for all their hard work and effort, and from what I’ve read, it's supposed to be an amazing book ,--------



BUT 40 DOLLARS!!! I feel like I’ve just been slapped in the face! I may be looking at this the wrong way, but what is this?

It just seems that just because it's the first it's being overrated, inflated propaganda even, I’m a young father of two with a thirst for information and

A wife in nursing school, we live week to week and often times day to day, if I can't afford this how can the little boy or girl down the street afford this? It’s b:s: ---



I feel like "they" are trying to take advantage of me with this outrageous price - I have many times paid their outrages prices in this hobby and told myself "quality not quantity" - not this time Advanced Visions ,zoomed or cages by design , my wife and I are not Big name folks in this trade -WE ARE the little people , the customer



this is not directed at the small business breeders , the volunteer conservationist or to the people at the shows that in good faith ran me a deal for that little special snake , that made my daughters face light up with joy , or to rodent pro that gave me a call to make sure that everything was satisfactory when something just happened to go wrong ,

I’m going to stop now and pass the mic, I’d like to hear you folks thoughts on why they are charging so much for this book that will sit on the shelf right next to the bearded dragon manual and the cornsnake manual for a quarter of the price
