Actually, Tee, NOW you are not "just pi$$ing".
For a 1K+ page, authoritative text, yeah, I'd plunk down $100+; more if there was a companion disk, etc. PARTICULARLY if it would be updated with "supplements" periodically [which I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount for], so I didn't have to shell out for a whole new one every year or two. [Hey, Carl, just a thought ...]
I did not envision such a thing, based on Carl's mention of a "spiral-bound" version [1000 pages is a heck of a lot to spiral bind in a single volume]. If memory serves, I paid that much or more for a multi-volume mechanics manual set published by another well-known entity.
