Please, a few things you must understand..How many atlases do they print at a time?? were are they printed (country china)???? I know what printing costs are here in the states for a (short run) hardbound book.You can get quotes on line with book manufactures , and I'm sure you will be surprised. Sounds like $50.00 is a heck of a deal on your book knowing what my son and Daughter,in collage pay for there new and used books,not to mention my wife is finishing another Doctorate degree.(she teaches nursing at a private collage) The book seems like it was packed well. For sure a shipping problem... No insults here, it seems you are unhappy with the price of the book . Regards: James
