Ok, fair enough. But that book is basically stills from her tour, right? 

Are you still trying to justify Beyonce selling paper for 74$...

I mean, its a coffee table art book. 
The comparison isn't a Taylor Swift hardback Tour book. The comparison is Madonna's "Sex" book which when adjusted for inflation was sold at $104 ($50 at the time). 
The real question is does the content justify the cost? The preview looks like a very very slim book so I'd wager no.  And I'm not convinced it's contents are going to be in any way revolutionary.

Visual book is just that. A part of house decoration. It will only be flipped once, if lucky, and then resides in someone's corner of a table and never to be touched again 

More over these things are mainly sold for hardcore fans, they will appreciate it more, so many will certainly bought it regardless of price tags. The BeyHives even bought her recent whiskey line even when they don't drink. So the issues about a book is too expensive is subjective at this point.

I am not trying to justify anything, I m just saying it's the average price for a book coming from a mainstream popgirl. If you don't apppreciate it don't buy

a book of less than 150 pages and for more than 70 usd? that's insane

Most of you feeling so outraged about this probably spend hundreds of euros on Gaga's rain boots or jock straps, so take a second to think about this

thats a tour book tho, not really what i meant

it may have been a book sold during the tour but it's very much an art book. there are mainly images from photoshoots, very few tour/stage photos...  in fact none of beyoncé's tour books ever feature much imagery (if any) of her tour. it's usually just photoshoots from the eras. RWT, Mrs. Carter, On the Run, and On the Run 2 were the best books.
