The most expensive data science textbook
This rudimentary statistics textbook, entitled Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data (3rd Edition), sells on Amazon for 157.79. Not sure if everyone sees the same price as me (maybe prices are user-customized), if price changes over time, but it seems stable. Surprisingly, this book is meant for first-year college students, so there's nothing original in the book. Just basic standard stuff that anyone can find for free on the Internet. Books covering far deeper and broader material, at the research level, filled with new intellectual property that you can directly apply to new-world data, sell at a fraction of the cost. What justifies such a high price?
