First, you can buy the book at Dragonmeet for 50 Euros. No shipping, no handling. Or you can wait until the book shows up at Leisure Games or another game store.
Second, the book is BIG. 50 Euros is perfectly reasonable for a book of this size (Rogue Trader was going for 65 Euros at the Essen Spiel - I do go to the trade fairs to see how other companies do their pricing). This book contains more pure, refined Gloranthan gold than old the books over the last ten years combined. And that is not even counting the art and the maps.
Put it this way - if we wanted to be greedy bastards and divide this material into four books, we probably could have sold it for 100 Euros collectively (which is what many other game companies would happily do). We thought it better to have one BIG book rather than four smaller books. With just Sartar and the HeroQuest Core Rules you have everything you need to run an epic campaign set in Dragon Pass.
Third, people are preordering it fast. I will try to have a few extra books for sale, but at this rate the safest way to guarantee you get a copy at Tentacles is to preorder.
