I tried to tease out some information from a UTP rep in a recent interview, but he was having none of it!DW@CWBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-50397705159659547972011-08-02T08:54:33.048-07:002011-08-02T08:54:33.048-07:00Hello

I would think at some point in the future, The University Alabama Press will have it discounted. A $50.00 price seems really high. At least it is a hardbound edition. <br /><br />However, I'm not sure of the quality of the materials. I did buy something from UA press recently and the boards were Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-18337423280529866192011-08-01T18:03:10.354-07:002011-08-01T18:03:10.354-07:00I agree totally with TPS.

For example, the very good book on the 2nd Corps of the Army of the Potomac at Antietam was reasonably priced.<br /><br />It is a shame because from what the reviews the Pelham book sounds really good and is needed as Hassler's book definitely should be bettered.

That is substantially overpriced, and as a publisher I can say that with confidence. Unfortunately, that price tag will cut away three-fourths of the readers who would have otherwise glad purchased a copy around $33.00. How sad.TPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613663983162109098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-24291306466492887342011-08-01T15:22:14.398-07:002011-08-01T15:22:14.398-07:00Not sure how I missed the Pelham bio, but I will b...Not sure how I missed the Pelham bio, but I will be reading that one.<br /><br />Thanks DrewTPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613663983162109098noreply@blogger.com
