Wow, that's a sigficant difference. I can see where the omnibus format is an economic win, broadly speaking. Given the ballpark prices you listed, the book puts the adventures almost in the range of "buy 2, get 3 free". I can still see where some consumers would prefer the standalone adventures and be willing to pay more for them, but business requires compromise. At least a profitable and well-run business does.
