That defeats the whole purpose of doing it though. They are doing it to give shops some extra income due to the struggles this year. So if the shops give them away, it defeats the whole purpose image is doing it.
Is there a self service aspect in that may lead to additional sales as the shops chase more copies, sure. But that’s the shops choice to do so. They can do nothing extra and still get 20% free books that they then can charge $5-10-15 for.
But if the shops are getting them for just ordering, nobody is making them sell to customers. So shops could just give them away as a reward to the customers who bought enough copies to qualify for the free copy.
Jokes on you, @Anthony took all my panties so I’ve gone commando for the better part of the last 9 months now… I think he took them to sniff late at night when his wife isn’t looking. He’s a freak like that…
