I have to imagine that GURPS probably had a larger initial print run, reducing the price somewhat. I'm not sure that BRP could reach that level, and thus price.

Speaking of which, looking at BRP, is it possible that some of the pictures were originally colored (greyscale in the book)? Any chance for a full-color, glossy paper, hardcover?

Ok, I am probably dreaming...
I, for one, am happy the paper isn't glossy. That was the most annoying change in terms of readability, especially if your reading locations are varied... the colored background only exacerbated this.
