That was fast.
The $10 off sale at Amazon on Arkham House Ephemera: The Classic Years only lasted a couple of days. Now they’ve got it at $35.28, creeping back toward the original $40 retail tag.
If you want to scramble around some, I believe the bookseller Terence McVicker may still offer his last few copies for $30 each. As perhaps the premiere online seller of actual ephemera Items, McVicker wanted to stock the book so his customers could use it as a reference. Then everyone would be on the same page — buyers, sellers.
Jeez, suddenly everybody’s an expert. . . .
The volatile price shifts, I think, make it problematic for any kind of bookstore sort of guy to deal with this title on a day-to-day basis. When Amazon dropped to $30 from $40, McVicker dropped too. I doubt he’ll now price up, then price down, then price up — in short, if he’s got copies at $30 and you want one, hop on it.
