BORDERTOWN price correction
Jan. 26th, 2011 09:52 pmIn my previous post I said that the new anthology, Welcome to Bordertown, was going to cost $22.99. I also put that on the postcards we gave out at Arisia.
That is a mistake (unless you're a library: it's the cost of Library Binding). The price to the public will be $19.99. For a 544-page hardcover, it's a steal! And what remains even more of a steal is the special Amazon pre-order price of $13.99! I imagine when the book nears its publication date of May 24, that will change. (Oh, my, yes; so it will.) Not to be outdone, B&N online is offering pre-order of $13.49 . . . but since they failed to print my author bio, we don't like them, do we?
Also interesting to see that since that Previous Post, which suggested that folks buy both Teeth and Welcome to Bordertown at Amazon's pre-order prices, the "buy these 2 books together" thingy on both pages is for the two of them; last week, Welcome to Bordertown was being offered in conjunction with Bordertown co-editor Holly Black's White Cat (which you absolutely positively hands down should buy anyway!) . . . So I guess, Gentle Readers, that we alone with our buying power moved the algorithm over a notch! Very cool to see it in action.
And why do I suddenly feel like Harriet M. Welsch?
