Chris, what kind of price do you think would be reasonable?  Considering
the contents, $95 doesn't seem particularly unreasonable to me.  Catalog
... database ... nearly 7K color photos ...
Producing and selling it as a book would be astronomically more expensive,
as you know, and not electronically searchable, either.  Unless there's
been a change, the info is also available free on the web (but requires a
connection to use it).  From Piotr's response, it sounds as if it was not
subsidized by, say, USDA or other institutions or agencies.
