That was my thinking precisely. My cost for the book is about $175 and
I had a discount code for 40% off which brought it to around $120.00
including shipping. I had to order a second book after making some
minor adjustments to 6 or 7 images after the test print. So my total
cost came to about $240.00. The experience of making a portfolio book
like this is far more beneficial (from an education/experience
standpoint alone) to my photography than any piece of camera gear or
software I could have bought for that amount.
Incidentally, my costs included the purchase of the DOves Regular font
specifically for this project. The book is set entirely in this
typeface. If you haven't heard about it's a fascinating story:

I'm surprised any of the punches survived; either rust or the acid anaerobic
conditions in the mud should have eroded them beyond use.
Did any of the punches survive? In the images shown, it looked to me
like all they recovered were typeface slugs.
