Price Creep in Canada? RF is Watching

Although the majority of Hachette e-books remain at $65 for 24 months , our Canadian partners have seen some price increases. All prices below are in Canadian dollars:

Queen: All The Songs: Teh Story Behind Every Track Estimated at $150 on pre-order

The Idea of the Brain: The Past and Future of Neuroscience $120

Man of Tomorrow: The Relentless Life of Jerry Brown $90

More than Ready: Be Strong and Be You $84

A-List Angels: How a Band of Actors, Artists, and Athletes Hacked Silicone Valley $84

The Less Dead $106

Simon & Schuster is not above a little price gouging either:

Reaganland: America’s Right Turn, 1976-1980 $163.99

USA prices seem stable for now. What gives, Hachette and S&S? Why the jump? Why these titles? We’ll be looking for more examples. and will be posting as we see them. If you are going to jump prices, could you at least consider a perpetual access option?
