Another last minute purchase from me, mostly because I wanted to finish up reading the former freebies Footsteps in the Dark and Cotillion before deciding.

Went and splurged on all the available mysteries and historicals that were in ePub format + the Regency background companion direct from the Sourcebooks site. Many thanks to apesmom who posted the WELCOME2011 discount coupon code for the extra 25% off upthread.

Decided against buying the romances just now, although I did quite enjoy Cotillion and liked it a lot more than Footsteps, on the grounds that when I dropped off my books at the library today and went to see what Heyer they had, there were 20+ listed in their catalogue, a dozen on-shelf, and nearly all of them were the romances with one or two historicals and nary a mystery in sight. And that's just the tiny local branch in the neighbouring pocket municipality.

So I figure that if Sourcebooks does this sale again in a year or two for Heyer's 110 or 111th birthday*, I'll be prepared to get the ones I've read and liked by then, though likely I'll just splurge on the lot even though I'm normally a no-romo if the prices are as good and there's another coupon to boot.

* Places love to offer sales for "round" and special-number anniversaries, I've noticed.
