I also agree that this is a reasonable price.
Have a look at one of the greatest RPG campaigns ever published: Chaosiums "Beyond the Mountains of Madness" Chaosium charges 41.95 for the PDF Version. PDF is 70% the price of print version, so that a print version (if one would be available) would be 59.95.
The book is a bit more than 400 pages long, has some illustrations, but notr very good ones, some rough maps, and a 1980s layout (sorry Chaosium, i love you, but even if this book is "only" 10 years old, it is layoutet as it would be 20). ;-)
Unfortunately i can´t make it to Dragonmeet (or most convestions recently), but i hope to be one of the first people to (pre-)order it when this option becomes available.
Cheers
André

50 Euros is very reasonable for a book of its size and quality. Think about it this way, there are more words, maps, and new illustrations in Sartar than in Thunder Rebels plus Storm Tribe plus the three Sartar Rising Books. And it still costs less money (and significantly less money if you factor in inflation over the last decade).
If there are any copies left at Dragonmeet, take a look and I suspect you will agree. There hasn't been a Gloranthan product like this since Genertela: Crucible of the Hero Wars or Pavis: Threshold to Danger.
