Actually, when it comes to the likes of DeCamp, Baen *is* the proper comparable as they are in the exact same niche as DelRey and Tor and the other BPH-owned SF houses.

Likewise, I took pains to limit my examples to their tactics promoting the back catalogs of DeCamp peers from the 40's-60's, tactics that are readily available to any publisher that chooses to use them, just as they used to practice direct mail order sales in the 70's and 80's. The used to publish newsletters and sell both bundles and blind grab-bag bundles, too.

Finally price elasticity was in fact part of economics 101 when I took it.
