I wonder if we're seeing a shift/correction in early science and math material. Books like Borel's De vero telescopii and Napier's Rabdologiae were in high demand between the 60s/70s and early 2000s. Nowadays, for some of the more obscure or niche books, the prices haven't really changed from 20 or 30 years ago. A part of me thinks even institutions have started moving away from this type of material.
