Year-old publishers Riptide are continuing to spread their wings, and their latest development is to sell paperback versions of their books from their own catalogue. Previously they've only sold e-books directly and readers have had to order print books from third party distributors.
I suspect this won't make a huge amount of difference to UK readers since the cost of shipping from the US will probably outweigh any benefits. However, for readers in America it makes a lot of sense, since any purchases, whether print or electronic, will qualify for the various discounts, deals and offers on the Riptide catalogue. Currently, for instance, all paperback books are on sale at 20% off list price, so readers might want to take advantage of that while it lasts.
Books that are available in print include longer works (novels over around 60,000 words); anthologies; and the most popular titles. Both 'Riptide Rentboys' (including my novella Necessity's Door) and Gleams of a Remoter World are included in this list, so if you want to buy a print copy of either and benefit from the discount, now's your time!
