Cites & Insights 7: Price reduced
Based on the overwhelming response to the availability of Cites & Insights 7: 2007 in book form (including the otherwise-unavailable Cites on a Plane phantom issue), I’ve decided to
Reduce the price!
It’s now the same price as other Cites & Insights Books: $29.50. Which, in this case, gets you a 405-page 8.5×11″ trade paperback.
I’m still thinking about doing previous volumes in book form–but certainly not because of anticipated sales (“overwhelming response” continues to add up to zero). For Volume 7, I finally figured out that the beautiful book version actually cost me less than doing another Velobound volume would. For earlier volumes, I already have the Velobound volumes, of course–but the book version’s a whole lot nicer and easier to use.
Is it worth it to have better versions of earlier volumes? Maybe. Not this week or next, but maybe. (Of course, given response, it’s unlikely that I’d write the promised introductory essays to earlier volumes.) Will sales eventually arise? Who knows? (Note that, if I did extract the two Library 2.0 essays from Volume 6 and publish them as a standalone volume, that volume would also cost $29.50.)
Meanwhile, work on the academic library blogs project has crawled nearly to a halt; given the response to the public library book, it’s hard not to prefer, say, taking another walk or reading a book to working on it. First priority, to be sure, other than home and family, is the PALINET Leadership Network–and that’s going just fine, with new content starting to appear in the next two days. I’ll be blogging more about that, I’m sure.
