I understand that there’s less of a demand for them than non-jewish books but you can get a classic mon jewish book for $-34 and jewish ones are close to $20.
Buy used.
It’s the same story whether the book was bought new or used.
You answered your own question.
There�s less demand. Therefore they print less. Therefore they cost more to print. Therefore they need to change more to make the business work.
Jewish store owners have to make a living. So do the publishers, distributors, and author.
Amazon Prime allows you to download to a Kindle (or other reader) a modest selection of “appropriate” books for Jewish kids at a lower cost than purchasing hard copies. The current choices are limited but hopefully will expand as more authors/jewish publihers are willing to put their works online. Adocs has it right….pricing ia entirely a function of supply and demand but hopefully electronic downloads will substantially lower the costs of distribution.
If they are not worth the money, don’t buy them.
