If he had taken the steps you request Kevin, would the price have gone up more? Yes. This isn't a book that is going to sell a million copies like Intro to Psyc 101. So either you complain about a 70 dollar book that in many ways replaces 5 weeks of training that also has some typos which do not detract from the material in anyway, or pay 120 for the same thing with bells on it, and complain about that too.

No, the sales would have gone up, and the price would be fair and justified. The price is not what it is because of publishing costs.
The teachers in our society, and those who write and publish our textbooks, have an obligation to convey their message grammatically. It is intellectually lazy to fall short of that obligation, as it is to blithely accept it when they fall short.
You also failed to note that I lauded the actual teachings in the book. My "complaining" was solely based on the cut-rate publication.
