Ah it was late by the measure that the link in the op was for B&N not Amazon. And the OP didn't know if such would be available over at Amazon.
It doesn't matter what the OP linked to: the offer is today, 8/3, at all sites, including B&N. So no, the post wasn't late by any measure.

I may have been mistaken but that mistake was also predicated on the wording of the post. It was still the 2nd and the op said that it was 'today.' And then when I clicked on the link the books were $8.99 not $2.99 so I assumed from the way the post was written that it was for 8/2/14 not 8/3/14. I think that's one reason we should always include the date of such deals in the header so that we avoid that confusion. I don't remember seeing the 8/3 in the header when it was posted originally. Could I have missed it due to the late hr? Maybe, or perhaps the header was edited later. I can't say either way.

Time zones also play a part. What's today in one location can be yesterday or tomorrow in another.

Still, I agree with you on adding the date to avoid confusion. I try to do that, but I do forget at times.

I'm sure you aren't alone. It's a primate quirk to forget stuff. I know when I've posted books to the Library here at MR I've sometimes messed up on some of the info. and had to go back to edit it.

The prices reverted, but I now see some low prices on Amazon UK and Kobo US so take a look if you missed a Modesitt you wanted
