Good question! There are so many, iy's really hard to choose,
I can list a few that I cannot afford, guessing the high cost is a result of "on demand printing", which eliminates surplus and thus any hope of a discount, and finally these kinds of texts would appeal to a very small segment of the population, and guessing the majority of thise that would be interested are based internationally, around the world, especially where microelectronincs are a thriving business, the emerged markets and such, Phillipenes/Malaysia, Japan, China, India, Taiwain, even germany and the UK, but I really wonder how many would sell in the US...

I have this search for many books and noticed all of them the price recently INCREASED about 10% to 15%!
Older titles that are like new used in good condition can be found from time to time, but as I mentioned, this new inventoryless printing methodology is I fear going to harm the technical literacy of the world, I mean if only a few with deep pockets can afford then where do these texts end up?
