The Vagrant by Peter Newman
- Thread starter Jon Snow
- Start date
I remember. I thought by now it will either
a) go down in price
b) become available on amazon.com as the worldwide site
Did a little digging around now, and it looks like this book was published only for UK by HarperCollins UK division. It's not a worldwide release. It's contained.
It's supposed to be published in USA in 2016 by HarperCollins main company. Maybe it will become more available to the world then.
Restricting ebook editions to a single country in 2015....I don't know what to say. Bunch of dinosaurs running the business. These publishing decisions are mental. I can only imagine how much money Newman has lost with this shitty publishing deal.

Since I could buy the kindle edition on Amazon.com from Italy -$18.32, no thanks -, I guess it is the other way around, it is available everywhere except that in the USA, anyway yes, bunch of dinosaurs indeed.
Especially considering that next year I will probably be able to choose from 2 different digital editions, hopefully with 2 very different prices (in The Grace of Kings' case there is a $12,00 difference between the US and UK kindle edition, and I could choose both - kind of ridiculous)

It is silly in this day and age for publishers to set such different release dates for novels in different formats (hardback/paperback lag aside, as that's traditional) in different countries. Amazon's sites will ship any old (physical) thing to another country if you order it. And people who really want ebooks that soon are more likely to pirate them.
Hey, it's only $1.99, not bad at all. A year after the other comments, I just got done reading it and really liked it. So naturally I'm looking for sequels and one is thankfully coming out next year, called The Malice, and it's only $10.99 and I preordered it. But I just want to thank Peter Newman for writing this marvelous book. For me it doesn't fit into any one genre, which is also good. Fantasy/scifi/horror/comedy for the price of one.
