Most of those Mike Shayne mysteries appear to be over-priced (in my opinion). I remember these as fun reads when I was a pimply adolescent. The current price for this one title of these thin PI mysteries is a welcome addition to pricing in way which treats reality as commonplace. In other words: Buy it already, ya hear?!! Sheeesh!!! Do I gotta spell it out for ya!??! |

I totally agree, and feel that way too about the slightly lower, but still unreasonable $5.99 that appears to be the standard for Erle Stanley Gardner/Perry Mason titles. With 60-ish Mike Shayne titles and 80-ish Perry Mason titles, replacing my DTBs would be ridiculous at these prices. So the author's estates/publishers don't get any $$$ from me at all, and I don't get to clear my shelves. Oh well...
P.S. I hope you didn't miss the Mike Shayne titles that were very briefly on sale for $0.99 (US only, I think) a while back: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=285683 Quote:

Shadow of the Rock is the first in the Spike Sanguinetti series by Thomas Mogford. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US. I have read and quite enjoyed this and a couple of other titles in this series. I first read Shadow after reading a history of Gibraltar (originally inspired by reading Uneasy Relations, a Gideon Oliver title set there) and then after reading Shadow, got inspired to go look at Gibraltar with Google Earth. Quite a place...maybe someday I'll get to go...

Bargain @ $0.99-$3.99 from HarperCollins in Canada & the US (non-couponable, prices should be the same at all the usual retailers):
A large chunk of award-winning author Susan McBride's (SYKM) comedic mysteries (she apparently also writes chick-lit and YA). Just to make things more fun, some books are deep-discounted in the US which aren't in Canada, and vice versa. @ 99 cents each in both Canada & the US, presumably to promote the upcoming 4th in series which is pre-orderable @ $2.99 in the US ($14.99 in Canada), #1-3 in her River Road series starring a septuagenarian amateur sleuth: To Helen Back (we've gotten this one free in the past), Mad as Helen, Not A Chance in Helen @ $1.99 USD/$2.99 CAD and up, assorted installments of her Lefty Award-winning and Anthony-finalist Debutante Dropout mysteries starring a slacker webdesigner in Dallas, Texas:
There's also a non-fiction memoir you may be interested in @ $1.99 USD/$3.99 CAD: In the Pink: How I Met the Perfect (Younger) Man, Survived Breast Cancer, and Found True Happiness After 40 |

I guess I should have said, "$1.49 each" but I guess you knew that.
