I just buy whatever is there at the bookstore.. If we're talking about how much I'm willing to spend max, I've spent >$200 for art books and I spent $150 on an art instruction book that used to be a reasonable price but since the artist/author died, the family is price gouging to get more money. I really loved the book (an instructor lent her copy to me) and so I just sighed and bought my own copy.
