Question as to Mistborn's release price
« on: July 16, 2006, 04:37:17 PM »
So, EUOL, you wouldn't happen to know the sale price of Mistborn for this Saturday would you? I want to get it, but I may not have enough for a while, so if you want dinner (plastic fork and all) you'd better tell me. :)

FMP,

I honestly don't remember!  I think the book will be $28, and it will be at least 10% off.  Maybe fifteen, but I don't remember.  So, $25 or maybe a little cheaper.

yeah, Diamante said that the two copies I reserved (I'm just doin' my part to ensure that EUOL's hand cramps up irreparably!) would come to approx $50.50 plus tax. Walden is giving a discout of %15. But there should be a Borders coupon coming out that you can use, also according to out friend in the book business, Diamante. :) Hope that helps, FMP.

It does, but I just realized that I have a river rafting scout trip that may or may not get back in time for me to make it, so I may just have to get it after the official release. :'(

Actually, the Walden signing is a specially mandated *pre* release. So if wait for the "official" release, you just won't be cool anymore. Sorry. ;)

Unless you buy it through TWG's Amazon link, in which case you will receive an official coolness point redeemable for fantastic prizes.

Ack! So I'm *not* just halucinating that the Mistborn ad is following me everywhere! It's here, it's there, it's everywhere.....

What about Mustard's book? It was recently released and you didn't do this for him (meaning the ad that follows you everywhere).

Well, you should realize that it didn't have as big a release under it's wings as Tor can do. But you should also see that this is EUOLs brother making all the changes around here... soooo. Yeah. Plus Fell and Mustard have that fun little brotherly fighting they insist on continuing.

Facts? I'd say so. Visit your local library for more on facts, opinions, causes, and effects (not to be confused with affects).

hm.  I guess I could go cancel my Amazon pre-order and re-place it through the TWG Amazon link.  Nahhh...sounds like too much work.

I'm ticked because I can't afford to buy a copy of Mistborn.  I'm actually more sad about that than not being able to buy food.

I know what you mean, Fish, though thankfully it's not that desperate for me. Tight month, though. Here's hoping it won't be tight for long (for either of us).

I'm happy I've got a B&N gift card with some money on it. Now if I can ever get a day off work to go to Mansfield and BUY it... that's a totally different matter.
