Re: A Monster Hunter goes "Contracting"
Would love to have a couple copies come through the store. Remember, we are much like a pawn shop. We seldom buy (that is pay for books) under the seller's terms. We have to be able to sell the book and make a little money.Bullspit wrote:Want me to send you mine when I'm done with them?Rumpshot wrote:Unfortunatley, NO.JAG2955 wrote:Is it available at Rumpshot's bookstore?
In fact we have problems finding books of this nature to stock in the store. To the best of my knowledge we have never had a copy of one of Larry's books cross the threshold.
I am sure they would sell if we got them in. Being a used book store is sometimes limiting.
That said, I intend to try to acquire my personal copy locally today. It will most likely end up on the shelf at the store as soon as I finish it.

Bought Dead Six and Spellbound from Uncle Hugo's. Dead Six is going to have to wait a week until I finish Spellbound though. I love the GC universe.

Purchased the e-book from Baen. Only a few pages in though. Too damned busy.

Hear that on the busy part. That's why I like to get mine from Audible.com and listen to them while I do stuff.
When are they going to start putting MMike's stuff in audio format?
Anybody know how they pick which ones they want to do?

Get me your address and I'll ship them to you. I have more store credit at my local used book store than I will use in 10 years so there isn't much point in selling the book there. I'll give it to you.Rumpshot wrote:Would love to have a couple copies come through the store. Remember, we are much like a pawn shop. We seldom buy (that is pay for books) under the seller's terms.

Got my e-copy from Baen today. It's the next book on the kindle I'll read, in the middle of Book 2 of the After America series right now.

I do the audio book thing sometimes, but I read so much faster than people speak that audio books seem so slow my mind wanders.TheArmsman wrote:Cobar wrote:. Too damned busy.

I guess I am just getting old, and too used to reading the old fashioned way.

Doing what I can. Bought two print copies today, one for The Boss, and one for a friend.
Also have the next three at that bookstore reserved.
