Que estranho... o senhor tem alguma explicação para isso?
ResponderExcluirSão livros importados? Ou vai ver a demanda é baixa, mas bastante inelástica com relação ao preço. O livro deve ser muito procurado por estudiosos do Brasil, mas não deve fazer muito sucesso com pessoas de fora da área, de modo que a quantidade de cópias publicadas seja baixa.
abraços, guilherme
Você provavelmente tem razão, Guilherme.
ResponderExcluirO livro tem um público restrito e a Editora ainda não recuperou o custo de edição.
