Exactly. A book that I can read and enjoy is worth $10 or $20 minimum. A book I can look up for a familiar reference, maybe a bit less than that. A book that I will dismiss soon after starting it isn't worth the space it takes.
All these books under $5 are, from my point of view, priced so you take a chance on something you don't know. Not for me. However, if a book I know I will use (and therefore worth North of $20) happens to be priced at $5, then so much the better.
