princedeeblebleble 1,585 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 On 4/22/2025 at 1:13 AM, salty like sodium said: because the cost of making one is not the same as the cost of making the other. you're literally comparing a black and white novel with presumably a handful of black and white illustrations (super cheap to print) with 4-color printing. that already is a much higher price point. glossy paper also costs more than the type of paper usually used in a novel. the cost of the photoshoots/outfits/cameramen/lighting etc. is also much higher than the cost of illustrating some drawings in a book. the only part of the frankenstein book that would be more expensive is the cloth binding but the cheaper prices it draws on everything else far outweigh that. and also let's not forget this book is much bigger than a novel in terms of page size, which also costs more. Well you have beautiful art and fashion books with a lot more content going on for a lot less than this, while in hardback bounding. Books where they'd have to pay off the featured artists and teams as well, I'm just saying visually this is on a level of a commercial free vogue magazine in terms of actual paper quality and looks. And then they ship it out without any major protection and the result is people recieving a damaged softcover magazine that costed 100 dollars. I understand you also pay the Beyonce brand, but come on, this shouldn't cost more than 50 dollars. She could have at least included a digital download for CC to boost her sales Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
