Are Hardcover Book Prices Going Up?

When I first posted Pablo Neruda’s “Childhood and Poetry” in December of 2009, the price for a copy of the hardback in which the piece was printed (William Bennett’s The Book of Virtues for Boys and Girls) was around ten bucks:

The Book of Virtues

Now, though,it’s $20.76 at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble (and Borders.com redirects to the product page on BN.com).

!!! Is this standard for book prices over the past couple of years, or is this an outlier?
