In the middle of reading Neal's book. I had no idea he was such a rebel in his youth  :shock: Really enjoying the book but £15 is a bit expensive.

I think that's the average release price for a new book these days. Places like Waterstones/Tesco/WHSmiths etc slash prices as a loss leader scheme, hence why new books can be so cheap.

Much like Jem, the money from the book goes directly to the artist so it's all good really  ;)

Fair point. I guess I'm too used to paying less when I'm downloading Kindle ebooks from Amazon. I was hoping this was going to be available on Kindle, maybe it will but couldn't wait to read it, plus the fact that it was there at the gig so I thought, grab it while you can  :)

Cheaper in Asda, not impressed that most newer books are more expensive on the kindle

Think Mikey was referring to new release books generally rather than Neal's specifically.

Must say though that I would always buy new relase hard copies of books in places like Waterstones and/or independant book retailers. The industry is dying a death as a result of ASDA/Tesco's etc who can afford to sell books a cut rate price as they make millions of pounds elsewhere in their business. Shame really. The recent price for Waterstones (the company) of £40m just goes to show that we need to support traditional book sellers.

/professional soap box rant!
