Woo hoo! Thanks for posting this! I will pick up a couple -- like the Elizabeth Ferrars -- forthwith!

Clearly, the publisher is doing a little experimenting with pricing to see what works. If anyone is following from Langtail Press, I'd suggest that while $8.00 is too much, $0.99 is too little. Langtail is investing in quality editions of relatively rare, out of print "classics" which will appeal to a pretty niche market. Somewhere closer to $5 makes sense ... with one or two titles by each author at $3.00 as "teasers".
