I learn from humanities friends on Facebook of Palgrave Open:
http://www.palgrave.com/open/ -- and their attention was riveted by
this item on the FAQ:
How much is the open access publication charge?
Monographs: £11,000 / $17,500 + VAT/taxes where applicable
I would characterize their reaction as variously gobsmacked, outraged,
and spluttering. That order of magnitude of money for publishing a
book is not something they can imagine committing to.
