That's really interesting. I bought Lutz's Spellman book today at $9.99 and was very happy to see it at that price. It's really good btw.
I'm kind of the opinion that once all this agency model crap shakes out these publishers are going to find themselves in price competition with one another.
Random House isn't playing at all and now Simon and Schuster is announcing that they'll be pricing most of their bestsellers at .... $9.99.
hmmmmmm
