And, of course, when the Kindle versions re-appear. Those are the versions of my Tor books currently in print. You’ll know when Amazon is no longer screwing with me when all my Tor books once again have “Buy Now” buttons in their mass market paperback (or in the case of Agent and Hate Mail, trade paperback) versions. All my other Tor books - the versions I receive royalties for, anyway - still appear to be down across the board. Amazon likely bought the books in bulk when they were first remaindered, for a substantially lower cost than “new” books, and my contract states that the cut I get for such bulk buying is very tiny indeed.Īll of which is to say at the moment Amazon is happy to sell you OMW directly, just not a version I get any real payment for. The thing to know about this is that the remaindered books aren’t royalty-bearing books, i.e., I don’t get a cut when Amazon sells them. The one physical version of Old Man’s War that’s up on Amazon is “Bargain Price Paperback,” which is to say the remaindered trade paperback edition as far as I know Amazon never stopped selling it.

A Technical Thing re: Amazon and My Tor BooksĮvery couple of hours someone sends an e-mail or post saying “Your book is back up on Amazon!” and point to the same thing, so I want to post this to clear up the confusion.
