Hunter Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm not over the top about the book at all, but for $2.00 I bought it. I never even finished reading the library copy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyseal Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My DD loving our Shakespeare discussions using this book as a guide. I have a hard copy, but this will be convenient to have! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arliemaria Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have a paperback edition, but would love to hear some discussion about the book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 It's still on sale at 7:00 AM EST. I hope it stays on sale throughout today. I'm up for discussion of the book. I'm bored. I don't think Shakespeare is all that some others think it is, but it's a stable and lasting body of literature like the Bible, so I'm drawn to it for than reason. It's grounding for me to focus on things that are stable. It might be fun to occasionally pick a book that goes on Kindle sale and then have a book discussion about it.

Slache Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Is this a book that would be more convenient to own a hard copy of? I assumed it was the type of book you'd flip around in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thank you! I have been wanting to own this book after repeatedly checking it out from my library. The sale is in Canada too, and is still valid today (Thursday). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootAnn Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks for sharing. I just bought a hardcopy after reading the kindle preview & leafing through a copy at the bookstore. I haven't had a chance to more than start the book, but I'm up for a discussion on it. DD#1 is taking the Macbeth "college bound intensive" through hscollegebound and I've already used part of this book in a discussion with her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Is this a book that would be more convenient to own a hard copy of? I assumed it was the type of book you'd flip around in. If I like a book enough to want to have it in hardcopy and take notes in it, then I also want to have a backup eBook if I can get it for less than $2.00. If someone bought the $2.00 copy and then decides they like it enough to buy hardcopy, I don't think they are wasting their money on the $2.00 eBook. I'm not sure if that makes sense. I am hesitant to buy $12.00 eBooks I think I need in hardcopy, but not $2.00 eBooks. $2.00 is my sweetspot for a backup eBook. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much flipping and too many post-its. ;) I think I'll just get the paperback one in a few years. Thanks though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much flipping and too many post-its. ;) I think I'll just get the paperback one in a few years. Thanks though. I really depend on some of my back-up copies. TWTM is nice to have on a cellphone when out shopping. I have tutored with How to Tutor off of just my cellphone. I have reread and reviewed parts of books to stay fresh when unexpectedly stuck waiting somewhere. I like back-up eBooks. I totally understand why others might not, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm not a both kinda person. I'll never have a WTM in Kindle. Too much flipping and too many post-its. ;) I think I'll just get the paperback one in a few years. Thanks though. I'm not a reference book on Kindle person (and I LOVE my Kindle Voyage), but I'd buy WTM for $2.00 even though I have 2 separate editions in hardback. I'm with Hunter, $2.00 is probably my Kindle sweet spot as well. Which is why I bought HTTYCS just now. I normally wouldn't have in ebook format, but... $2! (Plus, I had a dollar credit for not using my Amazon Prime to ship a package, so it was really only a dollar!) Thanks for sharing this find, Hunter! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Plus, I had a dollar credit for not using my Amazon Prime to ship a package, so Wait, what?!? Do you get a credit for having a Prime subscription but choosing regular ship speed instead? Or did I misunderstand? (sorry for the derailment, I've been considering getting Prime) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Wait, what?!? Do you get a credit for having a Prime subscription but choosing regular ship speed instead? Or did I misunderstand? Yeah, they occasionally do something like this - some sort of credit. I used a bunch of my credit to buy some e-books & music over the last three months. My last e-book was only $.48. :hat: I have nothing right now, though. :mellow: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Wait, what?!? Do you get a credit for having a Prime subscription but choosing regular ship speed instead? Or did I misunderstand? (sorry for the derailment, I've been considering getting Prime) Yup. We have Prime mostly for streaming with shipping convenience being secondary. Plus we get it half off because my husband was a student last time we renewed. Times when I don't care when something gets here, I'm more than happy to take the credit. It usually delays it by 1-3 days, so no big deal. (This one was for pencils, I think. Definitely not in a hurry). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddlemomma Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks for the heads-up, Hunter. This has been in my wishlist. At $2, I could justify buying it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I borrowed it from the Free Library of Philadelphia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Are we sure it's on sale and not just that price now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Are we sure it's on sale and not just that price now? It is very rare to see books like this drop to the $1.99 price and STAY there for more than a few days. Not all sales are 1 day sales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
