So I'm starting to look into the subject of Reliability Engineering for work. I figure "Oh, I'll just go to Amazon. I can pay $30-$50 for a book. Then I found this book.
For those of you who followed the link, no you aren't hallucinating; that book from 1999, used, no software is $450.00. For those of you who didn't follow the link, that's not a typo - the book costs $450.00. And hence the title of this post. It makes most of the other books, averaging $100 look like a good deal.
I kinda get it. The only people who buy these books are professionals (read companies) and die hard component geeks. But $450 for a relatively ancient tech book? Screw stock options - write highly specialized yet necessary tech books!
