Black Friday Book Deals!
The Based Book Sale Rolls on... And There's More!
Amazon can be a bit slow updating results, but the Based Book Sale has already placed over a thousand Based Books in the hands - or e-readers - of Based Readers. Here are the interim results after the first two days of the sale.
Robert E. Howard has surged to the top of the current sale listings with Conan. Ryan M. Patrick continues to top the year-to-date sale rankings with The Martian Incident: A Science Fiction Thriller. Classic offerings like Edgar Rice Burroughs’ complete collection including John Carter of Mars and Tarzan titles, G.K. Chesterton’s Father Brown Mystery Collection, Rafael Sabatini’s Captain Blood, and H. Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines dominate the top of the listings.

John C. Wright continues his strong presence with Nowhither: The Drowned World
(Unwithering Realm Book 2), Somewhither, and Iron Chamber of Memory.
Vox Day has made a strong showing in the present sale with his #1 New Release in Satire, Death and the Devil, and Summa Elvetica, A Throne of Bones, and A Sea of Skulls.
Richard Paolinelli cracked the top-ten with his science fiction noire Of All The Gin Joints In The Universe.
Robert Kroese’s comedy space opera Starship Grifters (A Rex Nihilo Adventure) is also in the top ten. His box sets The Cross-Time Crusade Trilogy and The Dis Trilogy are also making strong showings. Check out the complete sale listings with over 250 books to choose from, here!
