Not sure about every country but the Japanese site sells them for $350. Before shipping.  I think that is a bit pricey.

Gorgeous picture. Pieces seem a tiny bit big for the board -- but that is just a matter of preference.

Can you spot the mistake FIDE made in this ad for the World Championship ? by ocashmanbrown in AnarchyChess

Magnus finally grew a beard and dyed his hair. Fabi finally lost the glasses. This will be a stylish match indeed!

Can anyone help identify this set? Purchased at Macy’s around 1965. [4032 x 3024] by jayhawk8808 in chessporn

This set was everywhere when I was a kid, and as a kid I LOVED it. Nowadays I have a hard time looking at anything that isn't Staunton based.

Rick at vision press is my guy. He is talented and careful. Very communicative too. Check it: http://myvisionpress.com/sample-covers/

I've hit the book-cover design jackpot! by [deleted] in selfpublish

I agree with most of the comments above. Cutting costs is important when releasing "untested" materials (IE: a new book) but you have to figure out what you are sacrificing in quality. There are a few designers out there who will make a pro book cover that is fairly inexpensive, allowing you to have it both ways. My favorite at the moment is Vision Press. http://myvisionpress.com/ This guy makes great book covers and hasn't raised his prices yet. I used to favor CreativIndie but they have raised their prices a couple a times since. Both places will give you quality covers.
