So Absurb it is Funny
I have to admit, I was pretty shocked when my publisher announced the price point on my book at $24.95. I am never going to sell a dimestore paperback at a hardcover price - that was, and continues to be, my feelings on the matter. But they are very proud, and I have no say, so what can be done?
Raise the price.
That is right, two booksellers have actually raised the price on my book, substantially...Hemingway bookseller out of Illinois who claims "biggest saving and same day processing" is selling it at Amazon for $29.94. And if that isn't crazy enough, pbshopus of New Jersey is charging a whopping $41.92 per copy. Wow!
Only in America. You don't have to take my word for it, click on the title of this post to go to Amazon and discover for yourself. HA ha ahhahahah ahha ha ha.
Oh, I didn't even think about this, but if you are a member at Barnes & Noble you can purchase it at barnesandnoble.com for $22.45. What a deal. Hmm, perhaps I should think about getting a copy of my own - since I don't have one yet.
