Yeah, we talked about it a while back. You get a much better deal in the UK and I wish ours were even close.

I have followed the pricing of The Great Courses, at various stores where they are sold, over several years. My conclusion is: you can't get a better price than what Audible has when they have them on sale (but the selection is always very limited). The second best time and place to buy them is at The Great Courses themselves, when they have a particular sale called the "Employee Pricing Sale." They're offering one of these sales right now and, this time, at least, their sale involves them offering an extra 50% off of 80 featured courses that are on sale already.

My rule of thumb is to try to never pay over $1 per hour of lectures. Under normal circumstances, it's hard to meet that goal. However, with this sale, it's fairly easy. For example, the course on "Greek Tragedy," taught by Elizabeth Vandiver (an excellent teacher, by the way) is $19.95. After you take an additional 50% off, that brings the price down to slightly less than $10. And how long is this course? It is 13 hours long!

The sale ends midnight Monday. Be sure to use coupon code YQ4J at checkout. Here's a place where you can start your odyssey (I wonder why people don't say, "where you can start your Iliad. But I digress): http://www.thegreatcourses.com/tgc/c...0231083&sa=RL6. That URL is very long, but I got it straight from a Great Courses email message to me, and I didn't see any affiliate tags.

And, of course, even better if you get the Audible $99/12 credit plan and use them on the courses, as that is $8.25 each! Not as good as the occasional sale course, which is often about $5, but still great compared to their "regular" prices.

Thanks.

I didn't think of that, because I am not a credit member, and haven't been one for quite some time. I may not have thought of it anyway.

The Beach House

From the author of Jemima J and Falling comes the New York Times bestseller about finding your place in the place you call home.

Ever since her life took an unexpected turn, Nan Powell has enjoyed living alone on the sun-drenched shores of Nantucket. At sixty-five, she’s just as likely to be found at Windermere, her beach front home, as she is skinny dipping in her neighbor’s pool. But when the money she thought would last forever starts to dwindle, Nan decides to do something drastic to keep hold of her free-spirited life: open up Windermere to strangers.

After placing an ad for summer rentals touting water views, direct access to the beach, and a sexagenarian roommate, Nan’s once quiet house is soon full of noise, laughter, and the occasional bout of tears. Between her eclectic new tenants and the sudden return of her son, Nan gets a taste of what life is like when you have someone to care for besides yourself. But just as she starts to happily settle in to her new existence, the arrival of a visitor from her past threatens to turn everyone’s lives upside down...

Should be a real hit with the teenage MobileReader boys in Great Britain and her commonwealths.

SALE -- Employee Pricing Sale (80 titles) --> details

Ends at midnight tonight, about 2 hours from now. I assume that that is Eastern Time U.S. because The Great Courses' headquarters is in the Eastern time zone.

Another "Employee Pricing Sale" will come around, sure enough, in about 6 months, but it won't be of many, if any of the courses in this sale. You might have to wait for literally years to have a course in this sale that you're interested in to go back on this Employee Pricing Sale (usually The Great Courses' best one) kind of sale!
