The Artist’s Edition price

ArtistAmazon is listing the upcoming big Peanuts Artist’s Edition as having a “list price” of $149.99. That may not be accurate. The book was solicited to the comic book stores without a list price; instead, they are being told simply what they would have to pay for it wholesale. It is quite possible that Amazon is looking at that price, then figuring what the cover price would be at a common markup. I can say that the price that Amazon has for it at the moment – as I type this, it’s $98.81 – is the cheapest price I’ve seen anyone offering preorders of it for, particularly as that includes free shipping. If you want this, go lock in that price (and remember that if it ratchets down any further after you order but before it ships – and it already has ratcheted down since I placed my order – you get that lower price.)
