I think some of the model companies have priced theirselves out of business.
I used to buy lots of models and airplane books but now I refuse to pay the prices they want for the same models they sold in the 50's and 60's except the box art is different and the directions are in ten different languages.
The books are too expensive for the quality you get with a few exceptions. If you want a new copy of Jane's All the Worlds Aircraft it would set me back a weeks pay. I have to be content with 4 year old second hand copies.

At least the internet is free for now !
