I've thought of both of these, and I suspect one or the other may end up being my solution. Of course, it's rarely as clear cut as all that. If I'm going to buy the bundle, there is at least one definite anchor book. A book I'd buy regardless, at full release price of $10. And then there are 2-3 others that are "yeah, that would be nice to have, I might read it." that I might buy when they hit their paperback price and especially if I had a coupon. And then there's all the rest. Out of which a real gem sometimes emerges, as it did with the Frank Chadwick books. His books are now in the anchor book or nearly so category.
Hmmm. Well, for the moment I'm not going to change. But I think I will have to by and by.
