eBook Collections
Before Christmas we tried a little experiment. Lots of people get eBook readers for Christmas, we thought, and lots of people like our books. What can we do to provide our readers with a bit of a saving, and give them the chance to splurge out their Christmas money on some wonderful titles? So we came up with the idea to produce some eBook ‘Boxsets’. Yes, OK, some other publishers may have had this idea in the past as well. But we came up with it independently, honest.
So we put our heads together and came up with collections of varying size and price for some of our most popular authors, focusing on those who had long series or same-setting novels that would lend themselves to the project. In case you missed them, there’s a list below – but who else would you like to see available as ‘one-click’ collections? Leave us a comment here and we’ll see what we can do!
