I had all of the books for this month but than this one hit and had to snag it immediately! I wish all of those Trek Making Of books were available on Kindle but Wrath of Khan is still my fave Trek flick so I'm more than happy to snag this one.

This reminds me, does anyone know why the Search for Spock book isn't available as an e-book. The First Contact and Wrath of Khan ones are, but not the Search for Spock.

It's frankly no substitute for the gorgeous hard cover, but for 4 bucks I'm happy to have a digital companion. (It's not much fun to try and read on my phone though.)

I actually prefer reading this kind of stuff on my tablet and phone, it's a lot less cumbersome than the hardcovers, you can get the double page images without them being split in the middle, and you can zoom in if you want to take a closer look at something.

This reminds me, does anyone know why the Search for Spock book isn't available as an e-book. The First Contact and Wrath of Khan ones are, but not the Search for Spock.

Although the First Contact one seemed to have had the ebook published at the same time as the hardcover, the Wrath of Khan ebook seems to have been released almost 8 months after the hardcover was (Sept 5, 2023 vs. Apr 30, 2024). So I expect you will probably see the ebook version for The Search for Spock one come out late April/early May next year.

Oh, I didn't know that about the First Contact book, hopefully that'll be the case with the TSFS one too.

I'm sad that the Canada and US sales are out of sync now. From amazon.ca this is what I am seeing right now (only Pocket books, I use "pocket" as a filter to get rid of books Amazon wants me to look at that are not Star Trek at all):

$0.99 CAD:
DS9: Avatar 1 and 2 (permanent sale)
SCE: Blackout
SCE: Invincible Book 1
SCE: Paradise Interrupted
SCE: The Demon Book 1
SCE: Troubleshooting
TNG: Slings and Arrows 3

I'm not sure if the SCE titles are permanent sales now, they seem to have been on sale for a couple of months now.

$1.99 CAD:
DS9: A Stitch in Time
DS9: Day of Honor 2 Armageddon Sky
DS9: Far Beyond the Stars (novelization)
DS9: The Laertian Gamble
DS9: Rebels 2: The Courageous
The Art of Star Trek
TNG: Genesis Wave 1-3 (but no Genesis Force, it is $18.99)
TNG: Nemesis (novelization)
TNG/DS9: Dominion War 1-3 (but no 4, it is $8.99)
TOS: Child of Two Worlds
TOS: Faces of Fire
TOS: Troublesome Minds
VOY: Captain Proton

Again, some of these seem to be on sale for more than a month at a time and may be permanent sales.

I wish Titan: Sword of Damocles had gone on sale in Canada, it's the one Titan book I don't have for Kindle and it sells here for $19.99. I see some of the older titles have gone up to as much as $29.99 for the Kindle versions as well which is some whimsical pricing.

You and me both...

Again, some of these seem to be on sale for more than a month at a time and may be permanent sales.

The sales from June never came off sale at the end of June. You can see the list here. I try to exclude those ones when I list the sales for the new month. I imagine that if they ever get repeated on a monthly sale, they will end up going off sale at the end of that month, just like the December 2022 "permanent" sale books have... I think Avatar Books 1 & 2 might be the only two now left from that group?
