If your rate is low enough that you can learn everything that is in this book for $80 worth of your time, then sure. Price is relative, it's not like he's selling prescription drugs for $1000 per pill.

I bought it and have found it to be completely worth the money. I don't look at prices for these things in relation to how much other books cost but how much time it will save me.

Yeah I think that the medical comparison is a good idea.

We tend to criticize people for asking decent amount of money in our industry whereas people on others industries shamelessly ask for ludicrous amount of money even for pretty much anything (think medical or legal)
