I can't buy these books and I earn a medium high salary in a modern country, what about the 'others' ?, I mean the x-billion people that surely can't buy them even with 1 year of salary.

This pricing strategy is indecent.
"Concrete Mathematics" costs about $56 from Amazon US, plus I think $8 to ship from the US to France where I think you're located. The minimum wage in France is about $1850/month, which means that a copy of "Concrete Mathematics" costs about one day's work for someone on the minimum French wage. -- g
