May I add that not only are there a huge number of Fortress imprints on sale, the ones that I saw were for sale at huge discounts to list prices.

I started having a strong sense of
deja vu just now.
I started preparing the list of ebooks that I wanted to buy from Fortress during this upcoming sale, but I kept seeing the same prices on the Kindle ebooks as Fortress has on their ebooks (in fact, at least one of them at Amazon was
less expensive than the counterpart at Fortress!). Basically, Amazon has matched the prices on their digital books, just as Fortress has on theirs.
I recall now that Fortress Press had a sale like this a couple of years ago, and maybe another one since then. Amazon, participated, too, although I don't remember seeing it mentioned by Amazon then, just as I haven't seen it mentioned by them this time.
Here is a situation, however, where you
can save money--big money--buying from Fortress vs Amazon during this sale. Many times Amazon does not have a digital version of a book, where Fortress does, and is in the list of digital books that Fluribus posted. They have a paperback only, or a hardback only, or a paperback and hardback only, but no digital version. In those cases, it will cost you
much less, in most situations, to buy the ebook from Fortress, than to buy a dead-tree version from Amazon.
