Got me wondering if the cost mentioned is because you're in Aus ?

Only because with other home brewing type books, they do seem to be "regional". Some of the few I've got are reasonably cheap wherever advertised e.g. Ken Schramms mead book, but some of the other home brew books I've seen available, aren't or haven't been released here and when I look them up on amazon, they're only available from the US at considerable cost.

There's a few that I'd like to read but I'm buggered if I'm paying like 70 or 80 $US for something that would probably cost 20 or 30$ (and those would be the prices without the shipping cost).

Or maybe it's just that because it's been published as a "reference" book, and expected to have limited take up/sales, that they've priced it accordingly.......

I know it was expensive ...but nothing compared to some of the text's I had to get when I was studying wine science at Uni...I remember one pair of french wine texts were almost $500... when I emailed the publisher their response was that the purchasing audience for such texts was relatively small while the production costs were high...But $500..that is ridiculous.
