Let me further clarify - a typical 16-24 page manuscript, leather bound written on parchment will cost around 20 gold. The same book, using bound paper and a non-leather cover, will cost about half of that. Elaborate books, such as leather bound Tomes of several hundred pages, can cost upwards of 200 gold.
The above prices are just for the intrinsic value of the material and do not take the time and inks into account to actually fill the work.
