Why French books cost much more than similar English books ???
that usual Bussines at french publisher :'(
first buy the Rights from Author, then pay High printing cost of low Quantity,
then Divert payment to the retailers and associations, and of course the French Tax
also High payment to Author and illustrator or photographer publish in Book B)
and there the problem that the Major retailers only pay per Quarter (4 time per year)
so the publisher need a high prise to get fast profit, if retailers pay !
i know French small publisher who sell pocketbooks for €92 !
the other extrem is the Publisher EONS a SF and Fantasy books, with a low prise for France
