Our next Ars Magica release will be Hedge Magic Revised Edition. We've officially set the release month as November, and sent out the formal solicitation to distributors. In case you haven't seen it before (it's been in the "Coming Soon" area on the website for a while), we do have the description of the book online as well.
Just to give folks a heads up, the suggested retail price on this book will be $29.95, but there's a good chance that we'll have to see price increases in the not too distant future. I think we began going with the current hardcover/$29.95 format/price for ArM sourcebooks back in October 2002 with Blood and Sand, so we're going on six years without a price increase. Needless to say, our costs have risen over that time frame. Using the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank's handy inflation calculator, we can see that $29.95 in 2002 dollars adjusted for today would be $35.89. I don't know right know when or how much we'll increase the MSRP on future books, but it will need to happen sooner or later.

Thanks for the heads-up, John. Really appreciate you folks being so straightforward.
ReplyDelete-K!
Will this be printed with RoP: Faerie? to save costs decrease that possibility that the Faerie book will be late?
ReplyDeleteWe do not plan to print it with ROP: Faerie, no. I'm not sure at this point when that book will be formally scheduled for release.
