Interesting.........

The 5th book in George R Martin's "Ice & Fire " series is out - with the hardback slashed immediately, so it would seem.
Hardback is "slashed" in UK on Amazon and W'stones from £25 to £12-50.

I get the odd decent textile reference book from "remainder" stores, and these are often sold @ 50% reduction straight from the presses - they are made to sell for this price from the start, basically.

I think it's a bit early for Martin's tome, isn't it ? Or is he not as popular in Europe as the States ?

The paperback is £7-99 (one "used" for £1,191 !) but guess what ?
The kindle edition is £11-99, a whopping .51p less than the hardback.

What a bargain......

And what an interesting pricing strategy....
