The Thousand Dollar Psych Book
Posted by William Rabkin on July 7, 2009
I’m sure you all have today’s date circled on your calendars — it’s the day my second Psych novel, Mind Over Magic, hits the stores. It’s $6.99, and should be available everywhere.
But if you’re looking for a special way to demonstrate just how much Psych means to you, one of Amazon’s affiliated sellers, TSCbooks, is selling a used copy for $999.99. I’ve got to give them credit for coming up with a used copy the very day the book is released, but I’m not sure why this particular copy is worth 143 times cover price. And I’m kind of stunned that with that mark-up, they’re still charging $3.99 for shipping. If you were to pay me a thousand dollars for one of these books, I’d ship it to you for free. Hell, I’ll bring it over to your house and read it to you, if that’s what you’d like…
