After years of attending Winterail, I feel like I "know" images of the WP like the back of my hand. It's now to the point I'm LESS likely to purchase any WP books or videos, no matter how good the quality. The same goes for certain areas of the SP too. Book price is totally irrelevant. I'd feel the same if the books sold for $20 rather than $70.
Let's face it, thanks to Winterail, the WP is no different than fashion trends from past decades. A lot of book publishers have capitalized on that trend, but the end is near. I suspect very strongly that once Meeker's book is released, that will be it for WP books.
Nobody will be able to top Meeker's book, and all the other WP subject matter is used up.
