Millenium books 4 & 5 aren't Stieg Larsson and are widely held to be not as good...

Smashwords (https://www.smashwords.com) has their summer sale posted running throughout July. It's the usual morass of self-published works with a smattering of back-list titles where the rights have reverted to the author. Note that prices are in US$, and unless you have a US bank account, it's best to pay via PayPal.

Of note:
Ruthanna Emrys: Imperfect Commentaries is $3.50 (50% off)
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/946158
Very recently published short story collection not available on Amazon (at least in the UK).

CatYelling (publishers) have a number of titles by Will Shetterly & Emma Bull. Not in the sale, but they tend to be cheaper than Amazon:

I've picked up electronic versions of various titles (I already have Liavek in both electronic and print - note that the electronic versions differ because of rights).

Lavie Tidhar (https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/lavietidhar) is currently 50% off in the sale. The 4 Apex World SF books (one - #4? - was in a recent StoryBundle) are $2.50 each and a couple of novellas are $1.50 each and thus cheaper than Amazon.

Cynthia Felice: Iceman is $2.00 (50% off):

There's a new HumbleBundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/...cky_bookbundle&linkID=&utm_content=hero_image

$1 gets you:
William C Dietz: Deathday
Tanya Huff: February Thaw
Scott Mackay: The Meek
John Zakour and Lawrence Ganem: The Plutonium Blonde
Erin Lindsey: Bloodbound
Adam-Troy Castro: With Unclean Hands
Jack Campbell: The Dragons of Dorcastle

$8 adds:
William C Dietz: At Empire's Edge
Tim Akers: The Horns of Ruin
Tanya Huff: Sing the Four Quarters
Silvia Moreno-Garcia: Prime Meridian
Marie Brennan: Warrior
Jack Campbell: Ad Astra
Erin Lindsey: Bloodforged
Jack Campbell: The Hidden Masters of Marandur

$15 adds:
Tanya Huff: The Fire's Stone
Simon R Green: Drinking Midnight Wine
Simon R Green: The Swords of Haven
Simon R Green: Deathstalker Reborn
Marie Brennan: Witch
Jon Sprunk: Shadow's Son
Jack Campbell: The Assassins of Altis
Elizabeth Moon: Deeds of Honor
Daniel José Older: Salsa Nocturna
Charlaine Harris: The Layla Collection: Dancers in the Dark & Layla Steps Up
Aliette de Bodard: Servant of the Underworld

It's a nice selection, but I think I'll probably give it a miss: the only 2 I want are both top tier titles, and I already have 8 titles across all 3 tiers (Tanya Huff x3 , Marie Brennan x1, Simon R Green x2, Elizabeth Moon and Charlaine Harris).

Amazon UK dropped the price for Pathfinder 2e Special Edition by 24 quid. The starting price was already higher than your FLGS ones at 60 quid. But the new Amazon price of 47. 85 seems a bargain. Your chance today since these offers are usually time limited. ;-)

Normal edition is £35.05 at the Book Depository. Not sure if that’s good or not?

It is 12 quid more, but then, I like my special editions, so usually purchase them. And I just thought that others here may also want a special edition at a reasonably good price.

negromaestro · Aug 21, 2019

Book Depository has sold out, so cannot see its price but guessing it was at least 45 quid.

AndyE · Aug 22, 2019

My top tip would be create an account with Wordery.com

Add it to your basket where it's the same price as bookdepository but don't buy it. Wait a few days and you'll probably get a 10% off voucher.

Or you could just try the voucher JUST4YOU which is 10% off 2 or more books, which worked for me.

Thanks for this, never knew Wordery and BookDepository spied on each other.

There's a new Humble Book Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/...aen_bookbundle&linkID=&utm_content=cta_button

They all seem to be Baen books; some appear to have been in the Baen Free Library (at least in the past) and probably are still available on the Baen CD-ROMs (http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/ and elsewhere for the 'missing' CDs). Checking it out - of the ones I'm interested in, I've got most.
