On another note for some reason this particular edition seems a bit hard to find online. The one in the photo is $16 with shipping on Abebooks which seems slightly insane. I’m going to check Half Price Books and some other places.

Put out an AbeBooks want for this. If anyone happens to have this edition or knows someone who does send it my way.
Damn. It is so hard to find the 2017 reprints of Tanith Lee's Wars of Vis trilogy.
Anackire is practically nonexistent, even used copies.

It's on 23 platforms other than Amazon (including FNAC and AbeBooks in France). And yet 85% of global sales have come just from Amazon.

My book is available from 25 different non-Amazon retailers around the world. In France it is available at FNAC and AbeBooks.
And yet 85% of my global sales have been via Amazon. That is the reality of the world in which we were living. If I did not sell my book on Amazon, nobody would see it.

Self-publishing is the second modern development to kill off a sideline of mine. In the 1990s I took over a book-finding agency, but ABeBooks squashed that. So I changed the business to a literary agency, and along came s/p. But it's a good thing in many ways, cutting out commercial gatekeeping.

I like AbeBooks for purchasing these old books too. However, to access Prophets Of Deceit, it can’t compete with @openlibrary.org on value!!😀

Thank you, internet. I needed to end the day with a good laugh.
(I also went looking for a physical copy of the documentary Comic Book Confidential, and boy, it's just not my night.)

That's fair, I just wanted to yell about libraries. The overdrive integration on my Kobo is really nice though, can check out books without rolling off the couch.
For meatspace copies, you can buy most of these used for real cheap. Like 3-5 bucks a pop for a softcover. Alibris and AbeBooks

Amazon released a trailer for its Melania Trump documentary.
A documentary that cost the company $40 MILLION FOR THE RIGHTS ALONE & will undoubtedly make the Trump family richer.
This deal is just another example of corporations entangling in Trump's pay-to-play schemes.

Bill Watterson ran off some copies of this at the time, and sent them, signed, out to editors he knew. There was one on sale on abebooks a few years ago - it went for something like $30,000. It would have been my $30,000 if I had known in time.

Love AbeBooks but we have several local shops around that I haven’t given up on, yet. With how slowly I read, I’m in no rush. Haha.

The saddest paragraph pair on Wikipedia:
In June 2008 AbeBooks was awarded the British Columbia Technology Industry Association Impact Award[7] for Leadership in Social Responsibility for its charitable activities and literacy initiatives.
In December 2008, the company was sold to Amazon
