A lot of books out last week D&D release were cheaper online than in print.

Biggest was probably Brubaker & Phillips Fatale. Seems Apple wants materials prices to end in .99 and so people selling books at $3.50 had to decide to go either $2.99 or the higher $3.99.

I’m curious to find out tomorrow if there are any retailers near me who will honor this coupon!

(I also pick up random comics after midnight if I’m having a sleepless night)

This doesn’t interest me as:

- I have no interest in shopping at a retailer and am tired of the publishers inventing new ways to push me that way. Except for pricing I’m happy reading as I am, I wish publishers would stop trying to change me.

- Even I wanted to use this at a retailer, I’m sure none of the ones anywhere near my area participate. Plus the catches, only for use on Saturday, etc are just really stupid.
