Publisher Holiday Sales
With widespread reports of layoffs and restructuring among publishers and bookstores, it's clear by now that this is a tough market in which to sell books. Perhaps to weather the storm, a number of publishers that I regularly check for new releases are having holiday sales.
Here's what I've seen so far:
- Dalkey Archive Press. They're offering 5 books for $35, 10 books for $60, or 20 books for $110, all with free shipping. I could pick 5 books in about 10 seconds from the publisher of William H. Gass, Donald Barthelme, Danilo Kis, Gilbert Sorrentino, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, and about 100 more. Deal ends Dec. 10.
- NYRB Classics. NYRB's doing package deals. For instance, you could get the Sebaldian Rock Crystal by Adalbert Stifter with The Box of Delights by John Masefieldfor close to half off.
- Columbia University Press. CUP is offering discounts from 20 - 30 percent off. Check their website at the link for more info.
- Red Hen Press. Red Hen is offering a Gift Subscription sale as well as offering 40% off selected titles.






"Offer is only good in the US"... *sigh*
