Subject: Re: Super-Deluxe Sigurd & Gudrun by Urulókë on 2009/3/4 11:42:49 Khamul said all of us have bought a book that we have no intention of physically reading. So we're all nuts!... Can't agree more! And I love being nuts. Well, at least "Tolkien nuts". Those people who collect other books really are nuts. ![]() Khamul also said Another point that Rowns raises (or at least alludes to) is: why not just ignore the initial clamour, and pick up a copy at a later date; either discounted, or even on the second hand market. It won't cost you any more money. For this, I would like to clarify that I am specifically talking about S&G if it is released at 500 copies. And, to be completely honest, even S&G will be selling on the second hand market at a premium (i.e. above list price) somewhere down the road - it will be a stunning book as far as construction, the content will be good, and it will be signed by a highly desirable author - it just may take a few (or many) years to find 501 people who want to own one long term. Plus a few will be lost to damage or postal gremlins. |
