Here it is on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Learning-Foundations-Christopher...

Now that Amazon has competition they are not offering even $1 of discount. In the old days you'd get at least $20 off list price.

Springer does sales all the time. I got the 3rd edition of Peter Corke's robotics book for 17 USD directly from springer earlier this year.

I also got Nathan Ida's book on Electromagnetic, hardcover, for ~40 USD direct from springer.

Price fixing at Amazon with books also included publishers: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/26/technology/amazon-price-f...

It is a new book, so my question is, is this title worth 90 bucks? Nope probably not. Maybe 9.99 for an ebook would be reasonable.

To paraphrase: Do you want piracy, because this is how you get piracy...

I'll always support efforts at making education more accessible, but 90$ is pretty cheap for a textbook of this size. And it's a hardcover!

And it's available to read for free online, in its entirety, on the author's website.

It's hard to beat this proposition.

The ebook seems free from the first link you mention (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-45468-4)

[UncleOxidant → WanderPanda]

I'm seeing a price of $69.99 for the ebook. Maybe you're accessing that site through your University and they have a subscription or something?

IMO, yes. I'll be ordering a copy. But "different strokes for different folks" and all that.
