Recent LSU Western Theater titles like Larry Daniels "Stones River" and Wiley Sword's "Gateway to the Confederacy" are very reasonably priced, but the same venues keep almost all of UT's Western Theater books prohibitively expensive, which means, I fear, they won't carry the same impact as cheaper reads.

Thanks for the information about this ...Hello Drew<br /><br />Thanks for the information about this title. I agree with your other reader regarding the prices. UT Press if certainly on the high end. I also agree with you. I tend to do my purchasing from this press during their sales.<br /><br />It doesn't appear that this new title is in the series Western Theater of The Civil War?

UTP also doesn't seem to offer the kind of wholesale discounts that lead to steep price reductions upon release on the online book venues (like those we always see for UNC and LSU titles). This tends to keep the price propped up. Like other UPs, they do have good deals during special sales.DW@CWBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-75404374517498250212014-07-03T19:18:05.195-07:002014-07-03T19:18:05.195-07:00Drew,

Is this the new trend in academic presses, charge $50.00 for anything Civil War related, or is this peculiar to UT Press? It certainly seems like a sure fire way not to sell a lot of books.
