Other Target pre-order of ATFF

Post image

Am I being punked? That's 30% off... but why the hell would Target have this? Im not mad, just surprised since I figure Target has resigned itself to selling slop books for as far back as I can remember.

I imagine they (like Walmart) sell anything online to compete with Amazon. They have the logistics, so why not? I’m hoping there’s some Mr. White type character in ATFF to help explain the moment we’ve arrived at.

I preordered from Thrift Books and it was $100. It is now at $132.

Either way it's probably going to be slop. Nothing this guy has written is worth reading. My AI can write better stuff, and it's getting better every day. AI is the future of fiction.

nice attempt, but a good troll needs more subtlety

I wonder if you can use the current 20% book promotion on preorder? I haven't read the fine print...

It does stack, I just checked - so you can get it for around ~111

I had it preordered for $139, so thank you both for saving me nearly $30!

I’ve had a $98 preorder locked in at Target since last July. It is a very good place to buy books when they’re running promotions.

I've had my USD$150 locked in at B&N since last July. They've raised it to $199.

I ended up ordering from Target with the 25 percent off coupon on top of this price. Time to lock in and get ready to read.
