Happy Birthday Georgette Heyer!

Update: 8/16/11 Added link to sale prices at BooksonBoard.

Sourcebooks, the publisher of the late Georgette Heyer's books, is celebrated the week of her birth with a sale on all of her titles that are currently in ebook form - all 46 of them, plus Georgette Heyer's Regency World, a guide to the world of her books. Prices are now live at Amazon (I'll list them all below) and at Sourcebooks, but haven't quite all changed at B&N or Kobo. Also, you'll find multiple editions of The Black Moth, as it has passed into the public domain. If you want the Sourcebooks edition (and they do seem to do a good job on formatting for theirs), be sure to look at the publisher on that one before clicking. Prices should remain low thru Aug 21, but I would not push it; if you see some titles you want, grab them while the price is low.

There are two books not included in the sale, Toll-Gate and Unknown Ajax, which are currently available only as Kindle pre-orders (or as paper editions). You could order both of them and still be just over $100 - not a bad deal, at all, for a complete collection from this author (or, at least a complete collection, as far as ebooks go).

The books are available in various (DRM'd) formats from the following vendors, as well:
Click HERE for the list from AllRomance. Not all the titles have dropped there; formats are DRM'd PDF and EPUB.
Click HERE for the booklist at B&N. This is the Sourcebooks listing for The Black Moth and Georgette Heyer's Regency World.
Click HERE for the list from BooksonBoard. Many of them are $1.88, but some are still full price, so shop carefully.
Click HERE for the booklist at Kobo. This is the Sourcebooks listing for Georgette Heyer's Regency World (Kobo apparently doesn't carry their edition of The Black Moth). At least one (Frederica) is an online or app only read, so be sure you see "Download options: Adobe DRM EPUB" before buying there, if you want to load it on a non-Kobo ereader. You might try coupon codes Kobodollaroff or FirstRead, if you haven't used those codes before.
Click HERE for the list direct from Sourcebooks, which has both PDF and EPUB formats for most books (with DRM, not Kindle compatible). You may also be able to take advantage of coupon code WELCOME2011 to get an additional 25% off your order (if you haven't used it before and you signed up for their newsletter).
