Re: Available - Three More GURPS Books in Print-On-Demand
As do I, but the larger audience prefers low costs and convenience. We have to take the actions that will encourage more sales; it is better to get more people picking GURPS titles than it is to support my personal preferences.
(If you love books, check Centipede Press -- http://www.centipedepress.com/ -- because they make fabulous books.)

Re: Available - Three More GURPS Books in Print-On-Demand
Out of curiosity since you are doing POD via Createspace which is owned by Amazon has there been any thought given to selling ebooks via the kindle store. I believe they offer the option to publish as PDF rather than in kindle format (didn’t use it myself but I remember it being there). I genrally read my PDFs on my kindle and it works great. Selling them through Amazon might get gurps books more exposure.

Re: Available - Three More GURPS Books in Print-On-Demand
Hi! I can think of a couple extra that might be able to be put on this list:
GURPS Martial Arts (PS: Now about $150 on Ebay) GURPS Psionic Powers (Now about $75 or more on Ebay) .....and if this list doesn't work, a general reprint would be very nice (High Tech and Ultra Tech were just bought at my FLGS Sunday) Bruce Gray gurpsgm@gmail.com

The PDF is available on W23 for $11.99, somebody managed to sell his copy of the softcover (which sold for $19.99) for about seven times that amount? The phrase "more money than sense" comes to mind.

Re: Available - Three More GURPS Books in Print-On-Demand
remember just because its on EBay for a price doesn't mean it will sell or is worth that price.

Re: Available - Three More GURPS Books in Print-On-Demand
Agreed. I doubt it will boost sales, especially with older books but hopefully it will add visibility and like you said it gives people an easy way to get them.

Re: Available - Three More GURPS Books in Print-On-Demand
Now I'm just embarrassed, I bought them as they came out.
In all seriousness; I think it is wonderful that physical copies are available for those that did not buy them new, and I hope all of the various titles, .pdfs included, can eventually be bought by those who want them.

And I have bought replacement copies of some of my books which were damaged in a flood or lost in various moves.

Probably a collector who missed his Self-Control roll.
