I was curious about this, too. Then I noticed on Amazon that it's available on Kindle Unlimited. I'm willing to bet that's our problem right there. |

I thought so too. But Moorcock is a big enough author I wouldn't think he would be locked in to exclusivity. And Saga Press is an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

I don't know how much Gloriana is selling these days, given that it was published in '78. Maybe someone presented him the estimate of getting so much $$$ a month based on number of people likely to read it in KU, and he decided that sounded better than the amount it was currently generating via standalone sales.

They seem to be the only place not offering the SAME titles on UK and Ireland! https://www.kobo.com/ie/en/ebook/glo...ulfill-d-queen Last edited by Quoth; 05-09-2024 at 02:36 PM. |

I've noticed I very rarely use the Kobo travel agency, even for a really good deal. The only books I tend to travel for are those that are completely unavailable here in 'Murica.

Hmmm....I use the JSWolf Airlines. They serve a huge bowl of beans to everyone for a wonderful lunch serving, in addition to high engery protein bars. Unfortunately, their air filtration system died half-way to England. |

The Bone Orchard by Sara A. Mueller is $3 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.
The better half read this as a library book a few months ago and loved it. Enough that when I mentioned it is on sale, I was told to buy it. Quote:

Apparently it leans to the literary and is not an easy read. But is worth the time. *Whereas with me, if a synopsis sounds half way interesting and it's three bucks, hey, I'll take it! |

The Husbands by Holly Gramazio is £3 in the UK (Kobo, Amazon)
Gramazio is mostly known for working in the games space. This is her debut novel. Magic realism comedy...? Quote:
