One of the books recently reviewed in Times Higher Education, Modern Women in China and Japan (12 July), was advertised as having 224 pages and a price of ?56.
As a work of scholarship, the book may well deserve to be published, but isn't there something wrong with the economics of academic publishing when a book costs 25p per page? Shouldn't the threshold be something like the cost of photocopying at your local reprographic shop?
