You wrote a notebook, not a book. Also your example pages have oversized images and still you only have 130 pages of content, yet you are charging an extreme amount for it.

Many authors are using notebooks as a way to edit and publish books. The tooling is getting better.

Yes, humans sometimes make mistakes when they create things.

>and still you only have 130 pages of content, yet you are charging an extreme amount for it.

I believe the author is free to have as many or few pages as they want, and charge as much or less as they want. You are obviously free to choose.

just to clarify, I don't think "oversized image" was a mistake on author's part, but a deliberate attempt to inflate book size, hence the rest of my sentence
