I selected sheets one time and left them in my "shopping cart" because I was on the fence. When I came back the next day the price had dropped 20%. I bought them.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what lower price on a paperback means. There was a crossover point not long ago when more e-books were sold than print books. I am guessing there may be pressure on paperback prices from e-book prices right now. Being a Kindle owner I don't think it is fair for me to pay the same price that someone else pays for a book to be printed, bound, stored, shipped, but business is not "fair". I hope you sell a lot of copies.
I would rather read a book, that gave cure to the draft, but was unfortunate enough to receive sunstroke! LOL!
ReplyDeleteor of grief and sorrow.
I think that the price of books arrived at by a complex mathematical equation that is too complex for a simple MD to understand...this would involve number of books sold over a period of time, popularity of the field, etc. Of course, I always make things more complicated than they are...probably just some guy in the back room with a dart board with prices on it.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I recently looked up the price, so that I could read the book and be enlightened on the ducks thing. All I remember from med school about ducks is that if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck!
Hoping to be enlightened soon...
Barnes and Noble has it listed at....10.97. Coincidence?
ReplyDeleteChart the trend against the major stock indeces. Maybe you can scoop up a few tonight for 8.97. Me, I'm sitting on my cash.
ReplyDeletePrice customization: Amazon recognizes you and prices accordingly based on your history or other data points. Or it's running 'random' pricing tests. Could be either, really. Call it discrimination. Make a fuss. I think other people have tried. They won't care.
