Repeat v.e.r.y. s.l.o.w.l.y. "I...must...not...buy...paper...books..."

Beside too much has arrived - the new Hengband and a Kickstarter has delivered - Queen's Wish by Spiderweb Software. That'll keep me going for a while.

This copy of Mythic D6 just keeps getting cheaper day by day.

Ignore the title, it's Jerry's new RPG

Back to full price.
Now watch it slide..

Dimbyd · Sep 27, 2019

So, the business model is to misname the product & then gradually reduce the price to pocket money levels?

Guvnor · Sep 27, 2019

I have no idea at all, I have even told Jerry, but Amazon just seem to follow their own sweet insanity on this.

Checking the Bastion KS, Amazon have mislabeled the books on their barcodes at at least 1 fulfilment centre and are sending core books instead. You couldn't make this up...

There's an Open Road Media book bundle sale in HumbleBundle Books: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/bundle-bundles-open-road-media-books

Very mixed; the most attractive tier to me is the $1 tier.

The Pigeon Tunnel by John le Carré is £0.99 today. Great book, vignettes from his life.

Le Carre.was criticised by his colleagues in the agency last week. Could that have prompted the price drop?

Dom · Oct 7, 2019

I doubt it, there's usually at least one of his on offer each month. This is the book before last and there is a new one in late October (agent running in the field).

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Agent-Ru...?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1570407617&sr=8-1

Since he wrote Absolute Friends he's been back on form.

Most, if not all, are repeat deals so check your files before buying. (Note that if the ASIN remains the same Amazon will say you've already got it but if it's changed they'll happily take your money again.)
