Well, I suppose it was inevitable (like Thanos!) that the supply chain and printing paper availability problems that have been plaguing the world as much as the Covid pandemic would catch up to us at ’Warp Central.
Starting late last year, our wholesaler, Ingram Content Group, and its printing arm, Lightning Source, began steadily increasing the prices of paper and production costs in the U.S. and abroad, and recently they informed us that our prices needed to be adjusted soon if we still wanted to be compensated for sales (and not wind up owning them money).
And so, in the coming weeks retail price changes will be going into effect for all our titles. E-book prices, however, are unaffected by this decision, and will remain as they are (unless the price of download fees suddenly goes up, too).
Sorry about the bad news, but in this topsy-turvy world these days, the old adage of “adapt or die” has never been truer—and since we have no plans of shutting down operations, “adapt” it is.
Thanks for understanding!
