I don't know when the changeover occurred. I've just recently started following Palgrave DoD's, but it appeared that their "deal of the day" actually occurs "once every two days." I thought that the deal wouldn't change over until the end of the day tomorrow (well, today, if you're in the U.S. EST).

For anyone who is interested, "today's" "deal of the day" is White, G. - Audience Participation in Theatre. It's "only" 75% off, though. For that reason, I probably wouldn't have posted it.

It seems that Palgrave's idea of "day" in their "deal of the day" is pretty fluid, and unpredictable:
1. 4/28/18 6:26 p.m. EST--Cross-Cultural Communication was the DoD. However, I think that it had also been the DoD of 4/27/18, also. If so, that's two days.
2. 4/29/18 12:46 a.m. EST--Audience Participation in Theatre was the DoD. It seemed to be good for one day.
3. 4/30/18 2:56 p.m. EST--Crime Script Analysis: Preventing Crimes Against Business (I haven't posted, and don't plan to post, this one) is the DoD. However, the book's webpage says that the special price will be good through May 1, which is tomorrow; therefore, the deal will have lasted two days.

So, as I said, it looks like the durations of Palgrave's "deals of the day" are unpredictable. However, I will make a point to check the website every day. I may not post every one of the deals, it depends how broad-based I think that the interest in the book will be among MobileReaders.

I don't know about you, but I can live with a little inconvenience if I can save 89% or more on ebooks that I need or want.

For MobileReaders in Great Britain: there is a Palgrave "deal of the day" webpage for you guys.

I refer to #3.

It's 12:14 a.m. EST, May 1, right now, but Palgrave has already changed the "deal of the day" and upped the price to the usual price. As I mentioned, Palgrave said that the offer on this book would be "good through May 1."

A "through" date traditionally is inclusive (of that date), and not exclusive (of that date). To use the above as an example, "through May 1" would almost, if not completely, universally be taken to mean "including" or "all the way through" May 1. So, the deal shouldn't have ended until today, Tuesday, May 1 is over.

I love Palgrave's deals, but their unpredictability is annoying. I'll still post their deals occasionally, but I feel like I'm going to have to give a caveat, with each post, that the terms of the deal could change at any moment.
