Let's assume U.S.-based Prices in U.S. dollars If there is a subscription agent that would like to speak to this, I would like to hear from him or her. As of now I have received estimates of $13.3 million on the low end and $85 million on the high end. I received one estimate offline from a friend who has a good vantage on this, and she suggested $35-40 million for an academic library. So I think it's fair to say that more research is needed!
