Open Road titles go on sale so often that I don't bother posting them any more, except when they seem to pick up a new author, figuring that folks who want them already have them, although apparently that's not necessarily the case.
It's much more unusual to see Open Road titles go on sale for anything approaching reasonable prices in the UK, and in fact, this UK edition is Endeavour, not Open Road, so it appears that Endeavour may have the UK rights to most of Bradford's titles. In a quick check of a handful of Bradford's titles, all except one were Endeavour, with only The Great Siege, Malta 1565 as an Open Road title. This is a little odd, because my memory was that Open Road had the Bradford titles in the UK too, but I suppose things could change, or more likely, that I could remember incorrectly. 
And, BTW, while checking this out, I noticed another Endeavour-pub Bradford title, The Mighty Hood, on sale in the UK for £0.99: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mighty-Hood...dp/B01DW9353E/ |
Sorry, you guys. I thought that everyone would catch the fact that it was a backhanded way of saying that "this is a good post." I did think about the fact that someone might take what I said literally, and that I needed to do something (else) to tip people off, but I finally decided that having that ridiculous smiley (
) and the hyperbolic "always" would do the job. In retrospect, I should have done something additional.
<---- my genuine feeling now.
I do not have
any impression that
any country or geographical area gets better deals than another. I rather think that it is pretty much even, over time.
