higher demand books will cause the factory to produce more books, usually decreasing the marginal cost of producing one unit. if the factory were to produce less books, the average cost of producing a single book would be higher. the demand for books that are not popular aka higher level books that are not basic university courses will have to compensate for the higher marginal cost of producing a single book, which is why some of my fucking engineering books are 150 dollars instead of 40. books that are entry level will be more mass produced, and sell for cheaper since the demand is higher so the price can be lower.

i missed my last economics exam and i told my teacher i was dope sick and if someone can correct me on this please do because i don't want to get a fucking C or B in this class.

I don't doubt the amount of time and effort that goes into writing let alone publishing a book, and and yes I did see that its close to 400 pages long.

Having been interested in the author for awhile, I found myself looking for any of his books in the local used book store,and low and behold I grabbed an old hard copy of Supernatural for 15 bucks.

just happened to randomly look up why it was more expensive then the other book of his they had there at the store.
