I have compared it to the 3.3 version of the opengl super bible, the Ada
book has abot 10 less pages but is about 5mm taller, the GL book is
substantially thicker and I think I paid in the region if £30ish for it.

I would the price is high probably because they don't think it wi sell
many. The 2005 book didn't last long, don't think this will either.

They're both heavy.
