I agree that $12 is too high, but $2.99 is too low. $6-$8 would be a realistic price, I think.

I like to read a series in order and having the first book in this series at $12.00 really PO's me. The PB is $8.00 new. The least they could do is make the ebook the same. I would buy it at $8.00 not at $12.00. Random House would sell a lot more if they had lowered the price to $8.00.

So, YEAH, I figure they're worth about $2.99 each. Publisher wants more, fine. They'll sell 'em to someone else, 'cause I can find a LOT of fine books to read that DO fit into the $0.99, $1.99, $2.99 range. |

Let's hope they do an "Ed McBain Daily Sale" for all of us.

If you use Calibre to do a book/author search it finds dozens of MacDonald's Travis McGee novels at an average price of $6.99. Sony, Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon.
I have had the whole series for more than a year now, but I used 1dollar scan and had all my old paperbacks scanned into digital format. Very cheap that way. |

Very happy to see MacDonald's Travis McGee series widely available in digital form. MacDonald was a big influence on me and my writing, not to mention many of the writers I've been reading since I was a kid.

These books should of course be in the public domain by now, since Mr. MacDonald passed away 26 years ago (RIP),but of course that is a whole other argument... |

Thanks for posting about this. I read some of these back in the eighties and enjoyed them. My two local library systems have most of the ebooks. The ones I looked at are already loaned out. I put the first three on my wishlist. I'm curious to see how well they hold up.
