£200 is a stupid enough price for a generic reference work in any case. Not a chance I'll pay out even half that much for the Oxford work (poverty prohibits) but can even that be worth £105? If the pay was as bad as mcbishop's proposal, I might as well commission the most interesting authors to write me a personalised extract (which I would certainly print off and send back to them free of charge).
