Has anyone else received notification from their continuations jobber that the price for volume 28 of Philosophical Perspectives will be $1046?  It was $48 last year (and comparable in earlier years), so I figured there must have been a typo.  Nope: Yankee confirmed the outrageous price.  Needless to say, we’re canceling our standing order – a shame, since we have a complete run through v. 27.  I’ve sent an e-mail to the publication’s editors explaining why we’re canceling, on the off-chance that they weren’t aware of this and the effect it will have on its sales.

 

The losers here are the publication editors and authors, and faculty, students, and other users.  Perhaps some colleges/universities can and will pay this, or perhaps they can/will pay the online cost, with or without print.  Many institutions. like us, are not willing or able to do that.
