 Sounds encouraging!
 
As everyone seems to have ignored my attempt to start another thread in the "Other Topics of Interest" section titled 
Book Publishing I shall ask the question here.
 
Prompted Claude and George's posts and the apparent low price and heavy discounting of Mr Balfour's new book, I was wondering who sets the recommended retail price for a new book? 
 
And do the Author or Publisher have any say about discounting, particularly pre launch?
