I continue reading my first Satow book published in 1998. It now costs just under $300 if bought from the publisher’s website. See here:

I would really like to make it available as an ebook, and at a much lower price. (On Amazon KDP as an independent publisher I am not allowed to charge more than $9.99 for a kindle ebook, which is absolutely fine by me.)
