Very expensive. More expensive(3-4x) than a NYT bestseller paperback from a high caliber author like Paolo Coelho. John Grisham, Michael Palmer, Michael Palmer and Sydney Sheldon. The stories definitely did not undergo proofing. The characters name were interchanged fr. time to time and the legal grounds were too elementary and will really exist in fiction. Unlike those NYT best sellers that though fiction the medical backgrounds and legal backgrounds were throrouly researched.
