Like many books for a specialized audience, this one has a higher price than mass market books. I expect they have used 'coffee table book' quality photos of the horses and glossy paper, that sort of thing. I haven't seen it yet - was supposed to be able to get mine at a party given by the editor (Byron, the Aussie who does matings for Taylor Made), but it hasn't come off yet. Some previous 'prestige' reference books about breeding and pedigrees have been over $100 and as a result, I don't own them.
