Like others said the reason is inflation

Personally my own answer of this problem is to not purchase books (unless it's a book that I REALLY want to have in my bookshelf) and read them at my local library

Good advice to follow! I rarely buy my own book nowadays, just the library closest to where I live is pretty small and it’s a hassle to drive downtown for the “good” library. This thread suggests many people face a similar issue, small local bookstores are just not a thing where they live

If you don't mind reading on a screen, Libby is an app you can use with a lot of library systems to check out ebooks or audio books!
