A small publisher I like, Piccadilly Publishing has been looking into a subscription model for their new releases. This seems like the same thing, but with a bunch of small publishers banded together. I say good for them. I hope they succeed.

I've actually started collecting older SFBC omnibus editions. There are a number of books where the SFBC edition is a whole lot nicer than the one from the original publisher (this is especially true for Baen).

I used to have a lot of SFBC exclusive editions.

I signed up, there's already enough titles to keep me interested for a couple of months. Hopefully they'll keep adding new titles. The discount code publisherspick still worked for me.
It also seems that if you sign up you get a 60$ coupon that you can use even if you cancel the membership before being charged after the 14 days trial period. |

I just checked this out and sadly publisherspick is expired. I might still give the service a try though... I'm as yet undecided.

Much better editing than on that previous email from Arc Manor, anyway (though I would quibble over the use of half/halve).

And WIX is a really really bad choice!
There are various free and nearly free options that are better. |

Seeing they can't customize because they're using bloody WIX makes me... not very confident in the future success of this.

I have used it for a few months. I paid $4.99 for a code to use for a $30 credit toward ebooks they have. They will be adding more ebooks. There are issues to be aware of, though.
First, I had a computer problem and was unable to download the books I purchased at the time of purchase, and then there were health issues in the family that distracted me. I went to download the books slightly over a month later, and my links were expired. You need to download them within a month. Second, I don’t know how long the code to pay for an order is valid. I thought the code would last for a month (or at least 30 days), but mine told me it was expired when I tried to use it. I don’t know how long they actually last I wrote to them about these issues 2 weeks ago but have not heard back. It is December and people might take a long Christmas break, so I am frustrated but not yet concerned about the delay in responding. I am concerned about getting what I paid for. |

As far as I can tell from my use of Book Bale's coupons, they arrive early in the month and expire at the end of the month. That is my December coupon arrived in my inbox on 2023-Dec-10 and will expire on 2023-Dec-31. Also the coupons are single use, you can use any amount up to the coupon maximum but you only get to use it one time. You are not able to use it to pick up $15 worth of books and then pick up another $15 worth of books a week later.
