[QUOTE=elcreative;1655773]Despite what it says, the hardback has been £12.50, if ordered in advance, since announced as coming on Waterstones and then two weeks ago listed as £12.50 on release... pricing very rarely has anything to do with popularity these days, more a case of see how many you can shift in the first week or two.
And George is just as popular in the genre buyers in the UK as the US...

So - in my opinion - why demean the work by saying the "real" price is £25, but you can get it @50% off !
It smacks of those awful, sooooo boring multiplicity of sofa stores selling awful products at what is
always 50/60/70% off !
In fact, I wonder if Amazon aren't breaking the UK law regarding reduced/sale prices - I see no indication that this" product", which is what it is, after all, has been on sale "at the higher price" for a month prior - or however long it is - at a verifiable place/store.
Mmmmmmmm.................
Might investigate ..............
P.S. re: the popularity stakes - much as I thought....
