​I did a quick check, and the issue here is that McCollum's books
aren't
mass market paperback. Antares Dawn was originally published as a mass
market paperback by Del Rey back in 1986. ​According to McCollum's web
site, the current edition (which is by a company that's either doing
small
press runs, or POD) is trade paperback. A small run trade paperback
priced
in the $15 range is reasonable. (Mind you, according to the dimensions
on
Amazon, it's a *small* trade paperback.)
