Some time back I blogged about the greed of Pharmaceutical companies and the high price of some medications.
I am a strong supporter of Open access journals. I do not think there is any reason for scientific researchers to publish in High priced journals in this age of cheap almost free electronic publishing facility
Today I came across a book costing $ 1399.00 in hard cover and S 1109.00 as an e book
and this is supposed to be a "hand book" not even
a big time multi volume reference book.
No wonder people are resorting to Pirating
