The price is really low compared to Eur 75 here in Europe.

Maybe Arjan / Mandaukudi knows. He has Groneman in his bookshop.

The official marketprice set by the publisher is eur 75.
So than they are giving in on their own margin.
With a limited (500 pcs) edition of a rare book (that is sure to become a collectors item) that is a pretty weird action.

I've got mine from 'De Verre Volken' a bookstore inside the National Museum of Ethnology at Leiden. Cost more for shipping, but then again, the book is a collectors' item, to me anyway. Worth every cent I paid at Euro 75, and at 288 printed pages.
