Some Sue Grafton Alphabet Mysteries $2.99-$4.99 (US) [Macmillan]

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

a chronological series of mystery novels. Known as "the alphabet novels," the stories are set in and around the fictional town of Santa Teresa, California. It is based on Santa Barbara, outside of which Grafton maintains a home in the suburb of Montecito. (Grafton chose to use the name Santa Teresa as a tribute to the author Ross Macdonald, who had used it as a fictional name for Santa Barbara in his own novels.)

In the series, Grafton writes from the perspective of a female private investigator named Kinsey Millhone, who lives in Santa Teresa. In apparent tribute to Macdonald, Millhone refers to her private investigator license as a "photostat," as did Macdonald's character Archer. Grafton's first book of this series is "A" Is for Alibi, written and set in 1982. The series continues with "B" Is for Burglar, "C" Is for Corpse, and so on through the alphabet

I hope BN matches these prices. Otherwise I'll have to add up the savings on the titles I want and see if it would be cheaper to just get a Kindle!

Thanks for posting. I'll keep my eye on this, in case the deals show up on Sony/Kobo or BN soon. I definitely need K, L, N & O as well as a few others in the series that I don't have yet. I'd druther buy epub, but if I have to go the Kindle/convert route, I will at these prices.

Actually, I think I'm off to go post a "hint" to Sony's Facebook wall.

While I was at it, gave Nook a "nudge" as well.

'N' is now $4.99 and 'L' and 'M' are $5.99 on Sony's site.

Unfortunately no, that was not my work. I checked and those were the prices before I went and hinted at Sony. And still, while I could consider buying my 'N' at $4.99, I'd much prefer if Sony could meet the Amazon $2.99 price!

I'll keep checking back, if we are lucky, Sony and BN will price match now that it is pointed out to them.

Sony has same price, I just checked.

Yep, after posting on Sony's Facebook wall yesterday, today they sent me a link and the prices are the same as Amazon! Huzzah! Off to buy me some mysteries to fill in my series!

Nice to see Sony react quickly, once notified! It never hurts to ask!

graycyn · 10-29-2011, 07:43 PM

Heehee. Sometimes, but then sometimes you lose out. It's hard to know which way to go.

I am finding that with the Amazon summer sales, 100-book-under-$3.99-type sales it's better to wait until the end and let the competitors drive the prices down more.
