Do they do a summer sale the same way they do a winter sale?

I cant remember if its the same setup where over the course of a week they'll slowly put some titles up for sale. Just wondering if I should potentially hold out for that instead of splurging sooner.

>1 brokenwolf: Yes, but I've noticed compared to years back, they are willing to shift stuff by offering the likes of LEs at 50% off etc. They do add titles and like any sales strategy you have to decide on whether to.hold out and gamble for the perfect book at the perfect price.
Cannot remember who it was on here who made a good point about this. It was something like, better to pay for a book you want and secure it, than to miss out or to get suckered into buying books you don't actually want but buy them because they are heavily discounted.

Yes, the trend for the past couple of years has been to dump the majority of the books on Day 1, with additional books added during the course of the sale. They have Low Stock counters to help decide if/when to pull the trigger.

And they’re typically in July right?

That’ll come soon enough lol. Thanks! Trying to read some of the folios I already have so I can justify a sloppy summer batch.
