I know you cheapskates will faint:
The real deal (printed) should go for about $150.00 -- IF it was done on Disc the cost could be considerably lowered. I would expect that it should eventually cost about the same as a college text book.
A fully searchable disc, premium addition, could run about $75.00.
That makes it a value for the user, a profit for the writer and makes sure that it is a committment by the purchaser.
Of course I am just pi$$ing according to Master Foulds . . .
I would not expect many of the "free riders" on eUmpire to purchase the resource.

Tee,
We're not talking apples to apples here.
The new edition would probably be a new and updated edition with much left out.
If it were 1K + pages sure it would be a great work to have in my library.
I know I paid a pretty penny for the two volumes of the baseball guidebook and that was 10 years ago or so.
But a condensed version, not worth the same as an unabridged version.
Kind of like Carl's book. I don't mind paying for BRD, but I don't like to pay for it every single year since there are not that many changes.
But every other year I do purchase. It would be great if it were bound better and lasted longer for the price, but that's the world we live in today.
That is what I would be talking about. I can't speak for anyone else.
Thanks
David
