That doesn't really explain an 1800€ price tag. I've bought 500-100 page encyclopedias of academic subjects for $40 or $50.
Projects like this are built on the work of academics, the majority of whom are publicly funded. By and large they resent the for-profit publishers who benefit from their work and sometimes reduce them to needing to pirate their own work.

The encyclopedia isn't about optimizing software performance. It's about mathematical optimization problems and approaches like airline scheduling and conjugate gradient methods.

It's not meant to be sold as a book, it's available thru your institute's library. The universities pay for them.

The hardcover version comes in 7 volumes! [1]
Unfortunately the thing is from 2008 and I suppose this kind of book doesn't age well.
