[Martin Haspelmath]

Yes, the two big university presses are often cheaper than others, but 
they don't normally publish grammars of small languages.

The two grammars mentioned by Peter are exceptional cases, something 
like a special favour to Bob and Sasha (and their students).

More recently, Bob Dixon has been forced to collaborate with Lincom (see 
the OGFAUS series:
