Bibliophiles who care about such things should note that some (at least that I looked at) of Palgrave/Macmillan's titles (including HBs) are POD. It's not like they're having a fire sale of physical stock here; which, when you think about this kind of discounting, would make more sense.

Thanks for the tip Urulókë!!

If you have any suggestions on the non-Tolkien books, but that can have an interest for the Tolkien research, I take them !

This is not complete by any stretch, but I think these might be of interest (maybe not directly Tolkien related but still great books):

Fimi, Celtic Myth in Contemporary Children’s Fantasy

(Winner of the 2019 Mythopoeic Award for Myth and Fantasy Studies)

I've seen these recommended elsewhere but don't know them personally:

Lesnik-Oberstein, Children’s Literature

Anyone else find good books you recommend?

Anyone else having trouble on this sale?

I ordered by invoice and because half of the books I ordered were missing on the invoice from Springer Nature (the German branch, evidently) I went back to the Palgrave website to check on my account.

And I can't login to check as the website happens to be down. ;)

I can't access the site either, for a couple of days now. I ordered a few items and received email confirmation but since then the site keeps crashing out.

When I ordered my books, I kept getting website errors but refreshed the page and they eventually worked. Looks like they need to do some work on the website. It does appear to not be working at all at the moment

I was also surprised to get emails from Springer Nature about my purchases, had no idea that they appear to be the holding company for Palgrave, though Springer Nature is mentioned on the website, it was not prominent enough for me to take notice of.

Uh, I binned emails from "Springer Nature" (am I meant to understand who they are?) thinking they were spam. They looked like typical phishing emails for random "purchases" I made. Well, that's annoying.

They think you do, sad that no-one at these companies thinks to reply with an email address from the company that you bought it from ???

I've now managed to check back in with Palgrave; however, it does not hold my order, just my account info like email and address.

Odd for a "bookshop", to say the least.

I have now received three invoices:

1. The first with the amount to pay (half of what I ordered.)
2. + 3. : Blank invoices at 0,00€ for ... Idk reasons?

They are funny.

And obviously totally overwhelmed by their "sale."
