I can afford hardcovers (lucky me) but I can't afford the shelf space to put them on, nor oversize paperbacks. I'm about three books behind on China Mieville, say.
_The Dance of Time_ is a big book, mind - it's the biggest in the series (ish, maybe _The Tide of Victory_ is) and Baen don't really shy from printing flyswats. But I do wonder sometimes what happened to the novella.
I don't know, but I guess in real terms prices now must be higher than in the heyday of the pulps.
