Savage Realms Monthly: February 2023: A collection of dark fantasy sword and sorcery short adventure stories
I visited a bookstore in Louisiana that did the same thing. When I entered I asked about the pricing. Each book was at least $4 ea. unless specifically marked. When I went to check out the proprietor looked the books up online right then an there. It was a time consuming process and I finally walked out w/o purchasing anything. That was the first and last time I ever stopped in there.
I buy more books than I should online. Although, I don’t think I’ve ever fallen prey to this predatory practice. Primarily because I am such a spend thrift and absolutely will not pay lofty prices for a book. I am patient and will shop around or watch for quite a bit before I normally pull the trigger. More times than I care to remember I have purchased a book for a fair price only to find it much cheaper a short while later, but that is an entirely different matter. While I cannot speak to this practice, I have run across something in the wild that was unsettling, at least to me.
I thrift a lot. You can find real book treasure if you are diligent and patient. I have encountered people with little scanners scanning every book. Curiosity got the best of me one day and so I asked the guy what he was doing. He hesitated, almost like he didn’t want to answer. He told me he was looking for books to sell on Amazon. Somehow the the little widget would tell him which books were in demand or bear high prices on Amazon.
I'm currently reading Feast of Ambrosia by Glenn Rahman. I was able to snag a review copy. It comes out February 6.https://dmrbooks.com/test-blog/2023/1...

@DavidLooks awesome
Mind you it was still more than I wanted to pay. I got the hardback $17.
Witnessing everyone’s enthusiasm coupled with a significant discount on the Amazon website, I too have purchased the new Conan novel. I just have to wait for it to arrive.@Steve Babb man that is awesome! I am green with envy. Review copies are sweet!
@Jim awesome review!!
@LukeAwesome!!!
@DarielThe series is written by several different authors, so some books are better than others. Although all of them follow the same formula. It’s just pure escapism.
If you read the first two books and decided it just wasn’t for you, then I would leave it at that. You’re not missing out on anything.
Personally, I’m holding back for a mass market paperback. Also, I’m not entirely sold on the major publisher sword and sorcery in this age of the affronted. I may be in the minority, but my reservations are sound.
