Perhaps it was because the cost of a novel was relatively low. The production cost was mainly in printing and publishing. Fictions were usually co-produced by multiple authors, and each author might only be responsible for a part of the content. Therefore, the production of the entire collection required the participation of multiple authors and the printing and publishing costs of the publishing house. In addition, the size and thickness of the novel were also related to its value. Although bookstores may call them complete works, they are usually only part of a book and other parts may be out of print or no longer available. As a result, these novels were usually made into smaller, thinner versions for display and sale in bookstores. Finally, the price of the novel could also be affected by the market supply and demand. If there was a high demand for the novel, the bookstore might raise the price to attract readers. On the other hand, if the demand for the novel was low, the bookstore might lower the price to reduce costs and attract more customers. To sum up, the bookstores only sell a large and thick novel for 10-20 yuan. This is probably because the production cost is relatively low, mainly in printing and publishing. The size and thickness of the novel are also related to its value and are affected by market supply and demand.
