I felt that tingle too! I saw a book I co-edited on SciHub on the same day the publishers sent me a royalty statement reminding me that absolutely zero people want to pay 120GBP to read what I (my co-editors and contributors) put together through a whole lot of unpaid effort.

Why wouldn't they price at a rate that would generate some sales? Given that nearly all of the costs associated with the book would have already been paid?
