I was curious about this, too. Then I noticed on Amazon that it's available on Kindle Unlimited. I'm willing to bet that's our problem right there. |

I thought so too. But Moorcock is a big enough author I wouldn't think he would be locked in to exclusivity. And Saga Press is an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

I don't know how much Gloriana is selling these days, given that it was published in '78. Maybe someone presented him the estimate of getting so much $$$ a month based on number of people likely to read it in KU, and he decided that sounded better than the amount it was currently generating via standalone sales.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gloriana-Un...dp/B00QFLKNHI/ £3.42 Publisher : Gateway (22 Dec. 2014) Edit: Maybe not. It's €3.99 on Kobo Ireland (and Kobo travelling seems to have stopped working). They seem to be the only place not offering the SAME titles on UK and Ireland! https://www.kobo.com/ie/en/ebook/glo...ulfill-d-queen Last edited by Quoth; 05-09-2024 at 02:36 PM. |

I've noticed I very rarely use the Kobo travel agency, even for a really good deal. The only books I tend to travel for are those that are completely unavailable here in 'Murica.

Hmmm....I use the JSWolf Airlines. They serve a huge bowl of beans to everyone for a wonderful lunch serving, in addition to high engery protein bars. Unfortunately, their air filtration system died half-way to England. |

The Bone Orchard by Sara A. Mueller is $3 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.
The better half read this as a library book a few months ago and loved it. Enough that when I mentioned it is on sale, I was told to buy it. Quote:

Apparently it leans to the literary and is not an easy read. But is worth the time. *Whereas with me, if a synopsis sounds half way interesting and it's three bucks, hey, I'll take it! |
