It works out to about £24.50 here in the UK.
Jack the Ripper Black Magic Ritual set me back £29
The Elizabeth Stride book is about £30 and R Michael Gordons books are typically around the £25 mark. So about normal.
I thoroughly enjoyed your book, even though it interpreted many of the sources differently from myself--but so what? That's part of the fun of trying to untangle an historical knot, albeit with several of the threads missing.
A critical one has now been rescued from the shadows and I predict it will put Druitt, as a Ripper suspect, in a completely new light.
Jonathan, re your forthcoming book, I notice that the publisher is American.
As an ex-librarian it was always a matter of frustration to me just how difficult it was to get American imprints via our regular non-fiction library supplier.
All British library authorities will be tied into a deal with a company that will supply them with non-fiction titles. Approx' 70-80% of the NF titles supplied will be chosen by the company, not the library authority.
I suggest you contact your publisher to ensure that they push/publicise the book to all British library authorities and all the major library book suppliers.
It would be a pity if this book was "missed" by public libraries.
