If people want to donate me some physical coins I'm happy to slap a few pictures of my cock next to them and sell them back to you for $150.

Have I missed the point here or what?

What is the purpose / content of the book?

It is important to remember that low quantity book printing is not cheap. That said, I'm asking $89 shipped for my book, which is 270 pages of color with 550+ pictures.
I would venture a guess that the model & photography was not cheap either!

 sorry Elianite , but as a customer , i dont have to take this in consideration ! : that's not my problem if he produce only  a low number .. i dont care about it ..

You may have missed my main point, which was essentially that if I can make a profit by charging much less for a book with 50 times the content (still having color photos), $150 does seem like a little too much in comparison. I would not buy at that price..

Neat! How does each book have a unique identifier or did I read that wrong?

Each book owner is entitled to an associated Counterparty token

everyone gets a counterparty token sent to an address they control and if they sell the book on the after market, make sure the new buyers gets the token too

In terms of price, I view this as a coffee table book. Here are some other hard-cover coffee table books to provide a price comparison:

$290: https://www.amazon.com/South-Africa-Hoberman-Collection-1999-05-04/dp/B01FIZW5AE
$675: https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Ford-Years-Graydon-Carter/dp/0500511977
$300: https://www.amazon.com/Beach-Richard-Misrach/dp/1597110485
$620: https://www.amazon.com/Tea-Tea-Table-Eighteenth-Century-England-Ben/dp/1848930259

Of course you also get coffee table books that are $15, but I don't think the $150 price for this was overly harsh given the small run. In deference to what defcon23 stated above, I feel that paying a premium for a limited edition is completely justifiable. Even if this book goes on to produce a second print, the first edition will still have been a limited run, and would remain collectible.
