: Re: Why do hardcover books retail for more than three times the cost of softcover books? One thing I've noticed while browsing bookstores is that hardcover books tend to cost more than softcover

Though hardcover books are of higher quality, I doubt the manufacturing costs play a significant role in the price difference.
