I got the email, and had about forty items in my wishlist, many with an extra fifteen per cent off. I bought only two, really, since my tastes appear to run to the expensive side of things. Or perhaps the Gods have deemed that the books I want should have extortionate prices, like twenty-five dollars for a five-year-old book that's been out in mass market paperback for four.
Even with discounts, these books are stupidly expensive, and we're not talking 'niche' markets here. We're talking popular authors. If anyone can tell me they actually get anywhere by emailing the respective publishers (since I do understand this is outside of Fictionwise's control), I'll give it a shot myself.
