Barnes and Noble asks for $34.99. Not sure if membership gets you 40% off that, or the original asking price of $45. -- nm* - Qale Nov 24, 17:54 4
- Also: You could buy 3 of my books for that list price! -- nm - Qale Nov 24, 17:55 3

I paid about US$20, but in Australian. I imagine a lot of the sales were at a reasonably steep discount. -- nm - mafic Nov 24, 17:33 4
- Amazon wants $27. But usually a book comes out for $27 and you can snag it at $16 -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 17:36 3
  - There's likely kindle and PDFs online as well -- nm - budice Nov 24, 17:39 2
    - Kindle $17.99, but that is probably a much higher % profit than a hardcover. -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 17:42 1
      - Fuck Amazon! But yes, the Apple Store version is also $17.99. -- nm - Qale Nov 24, 17:51

- Actually, based on her 2018 sales, it means he can quit asking Michelle for some money. -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 17:39
- I imagine Penguin Random House is out buying turkeys for all their employees and whoever the agent was that landed him is going to have a merry Xmas. -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 17:34 2
