bessantj posted:Oh academic books I get being expensive, but this is a half arsed crime fiction book by the author of Harry Potter. The fact that it's over 1,000 pages should mean a deep discount. Publishers put out hardbacks early, have the jacket price at £20-25 & then they are sold by shops at usually £10-15 with a big fat £10 off sticker which makes you think you're getting a bargain so you better buy it! Source: me, I buy my mam the new Ian Rankin novel every year for her birthday as they usually come out about a month before her birthday and I've never paid listed price for them, even when it came signed. It's a stupid marketing trick but it must work. This isn't a recent development, and very few people actually buy the thing at £25.

Necrothatcher posted:lmao imagine travelling back in time and telling this thread liz truss would be pm (Necrothatcher going into their time travelling phonebooth.) I can't believe I got to go back in time and blow the minds on everyone on the UK Mega Thread by telling them how Liz Truss would be Prime Minsiter in two years time. (Phonebooth starts to time travel.) Oh wait...maybe I should have also mentioned something about the invasion of Ukraine. Too late.

I can't even cope with watching the BBC News special on Liz Truss's regime just now. Every time I switch on BBC it somehow always gets worse, the amount of Boris ARSELICKING man. Absolute monsters.

I appreciated that early in her victory speech Truss thanked Boris Johnson for crushing Jeremy Corbyn. These cunts really cannot let it go.

What the hell disabled people are going to do I don't know.

Checked out the price of her book on Amazon. The hardback is CHEAPER than it is on Kindle and on Paperback. The paperback is 5 quid dearer.

Hardbacks are nice to have on your shelf or feel in your meaty hands, but they're not great to read.

It's a shame there's so many good sketches in Mitchell and Webb because now even though the reference comes so naturally I have to then think about what a oval office Webb is.

HopperUK posted:I know the Trusspocalypse is going on but yeah that's how much hardback books are now. You can get paperbacks that cost 20 quid if you are into history. Tbf specifically-academic books have always been expensive as gently caress (like up to 100 quid) because the audience is small and it's mostly institutions not people buying off their own bat.
