Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"

Sense of Wonder
Looks great. Nice line-up here. However...$50.00 for the deadtree and $40.00 for the eBook. What are they smoking at Wildside?
Possibly. Subterranean used to be associated with Baen's Webscription but dropped from there, alas. So, I no longer buy any Subterranean eBooks. As for textbook prices, well, they've been unrealistic for decades.

They are pricing it as a textbook, or are trying to use the Subterranean model, I think.
