Note that it seems to be US only - I don't see any price drops in the UK store.

My mistake, it was a one day sale yesterday. For some reason, ORM sends me these emails announcing sales in the middle of the afternoon, and I usually forget to check it in the evening.

Thanks for the post. ADDENDUM: Someone mentioned, maybe three years ago, that if a price has gone up at one store, to check another one. Seems that some of the stores increase their prices later in the day, than others, maybe having to do with where their headquarters is, or something. I think that ATDrake was the one who mentioned it to me, but I might be mistaken . . . . Can anyone shed any light on this? Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 05-08-2018 at 06:34 PM. |

I received another email from Open Road announcing hundreds of mysteries on sale (this time, it's actually today, and the ebooks are still on sale ), and here's a link to the webpage announcing it.
However, I am more of a SF reader, and it looks to me that there's a bunch of SF/Fantasy on sale too, from authors like Brian Aldiss, John Brunner, Dave Duncan, Andre Norton, and many more. I searched at Kobo for Open Road SF/Fantasy from $1.25 to $3, and while there are a few public domain titles showing up, there's probably about 200 SF/F books from the 50s and later on sale. |

I just really, really wish that Open Road would have these sales in Canada. I like a number of the authors who have listed their back catalogs with Open Road. (Dave Duncan foremost amongst them.)

I got another email today (5/16/2018) for another big batch of books on sale, today only. Use the same links as before, though this email didn't have a link for True Crime and Horror. I still didn't find anything I needed that I didn't already have. YMMV
