I'll bite - what do you think is a fair price for a 320-page hardcover book stuffed with full-color art? I'd genuinely love to hear.

Do keep in mind that the price of printing went up as much as 8x during the pandemic, and never really came back down.

$60

$79.99? Is this an error? Player Core 2 is the same length for $59.99.

The 4 Core books are heavily discounted to be less of a barrier of entry.

From the blog announcing the most recent price structure:

Holding the Line on the Core

Contrary to what I’ve outlined above, we’ll keep the price of the hardcover Core books (Player Core, GM Core, Monster Core, and Player Core 2) at $59.99 through at least the first printing. We feel these books are essential first purchases for Pathfinder players and want to hold the line on price increases as long as possible to reduce the barrier of entry for new players.

It's still absolutely ridiculous to pay $80 for these. This hobby's money sink is starting to compare to Games Workshop.

Just want to point out, what I think is a typo.

On the description of Osprey Cove, the text reads "While Osprey Harbor's..." as well as "Earn income in Osprey Harbor..."

I believe this was a mix-up of Iron Harbor and Osprey Cove.
