Noon to 5 pm Uncle Hugo's 612-824-6347 Uncle Edgar's 612-824-9984  \nFax 612-827-6394 E-mail: [unclehugo@aol.com](unclehugo@aol.com)  \nWebsite: [www.UncleHugo.com](www.UncleHugo.com)  \nUsed Book Sale  \nEvery year our supply (oversupply) of used books gets larger . We're having a used book sale to try to reduce our supply .  \nAll used books will be 20% off, whether you have a discount card or not . The sale includes used paperbacks, used hardcovers, used magazines, used gaming books, and bagged books .  \nBecause we have so many used audiobooks, we will be selling all used audiobooks at $5.00 each, whether cassette or CD .  \nThe sale runs from Friday, September 7, through Sunday, September 16. That gives you two weekends to take advantage of the sale .  \nThis sale will be for customers shopping in the store–it does not apply to mail orders . If you're thinking about bringing in lots of used books to sell to us during the sale, expect a longer than normal wait .  \nAuthor Events (at Uncle Edgar's)  \nMonday, August 27, 5-6pm: William Kent Krueger Trickster's Point  \nAuthor Events (at Uncle Hugo's)  \nTuesday, September 18, 5-6pm: Larry Correia Monster Hunter Legion  \nSaturday, November 3, 1-2pm: Lois McMaster Bujold - Captain Vorpatril's Alliance  \nHoliday Schedule  \nMonday, September 3: Closed  \nThursday, November 22: Closed  \nHow's Business?  \nBy Don Blyly  \nAround August 1 a customer on the way out of the store thanked me for managing to keep the store open in spite of all the problems . A couple of days later the e-mail edition of Publishers Weekly had an article about Partners & Crime Mystery Booksellers in New York City going out of business in September after 18 years in business and also mentioned that Mysteries to Die For in Thousand Oaks, California, went out  \nof business at the end of July after 19 years in business . It used to be that specialty bookstores had a somewhat better chance to survive than full-line bookstores, but that clearly is no longer the case .  \nWe usually see a lot of once-a-year customers during July and August as out-of-state customers vacation in Minnesota or western Wisconsin and visit the Uncles while they are in the area .  \nThat has happened again this year, but we've also been seeing a lot of people who were staying at the Sheraton Hotel across the street . When they look out the window and see a bookstore across the street, many come over fora look, and some even buy some books . A couple of days ago, somebody from the Sheraton walked in and asked 'Where is there a real bookstore in the area?' I raised my eyebrow to him, and he said, 'You know, a bookstore that doesn't sell science fiction . ' It turns out that he was looking for religious books . I told him he would probably have to either go downtown or to the Hennepin-Lake area to find a large general bookstore, but that they would probably also have some science fiction available for sale .  \nA couple of years ago, Amazon had 90% of the ebook market, and they were trying for even more market share by selling certain best-sellers below cost . Target and Walmart matched the Amazon prices, but nobody else could afford todo so . Steve Jobs of Apple went to some publishers and suggested that they switch from the 'wholesaler' model (where the publishers  \nsells to middlemen, who can then set any price they want for their customers) to the 'agency'model (where the publisher determines the retail price and any middleman acts as an agent for the publisher, selling at the price determined by the publisher, and takes a commission on the sale–just like the insurance industry works, and like Apple handles digital music) . Some of the publishers, both large and small, switched to the 'agency' model; some publishers, both large and small, stuck wit","cbCaiqVbA9r40fkg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqVbA9r40fkg","pdf",883054,1,260,"English","en",105,"# Used Book Sale\n## Author Events\n## Holiday Schedule\n# How's Business?","[{\"question\":\"What discounts apply to used books during the sale?\",\"answer\":\"All used books are 20% off, regardless of whether a discount card is used.\"},{\"question\":\"How are used audiobooks priced in the sale?\",\"answer\":\"All used audiobooks are priced at $5.00 each, whether cassette or CD.\"},{\"question\":\"What major industry developments are discussed in the business update?\",\"answer\":\"The newsletter discusses ebook market share changes, the shift between wholesale and agency pricing models, and a U.S. Department of Justice case alleging collusion and price fixing.\"}]","Newsletter #99 September-November 2012 | PDF",1787985068,400,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":28},"newsletter-99-september-november-2012","",{"@graph":36,"@context":85},[37,53,68],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,47,50],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/newsletter-99-september-november-2012/157613/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-05","2026-08-29",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"What discounts apply to used books during the sale?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"All used books are 20% off, regardless of whether a discount card is used.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"How are used audiobooks priced in the sale?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"All used audiobooks are priced at $5.00 each, whether cassette or CD.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"What major industry developments are discussed in the business update?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"The newsletter discusses ebook market share changes, the shift between wholesale and agency pricing models, and a U.S. Department of Justice case alleging collusion and price fixing.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,97,100,104,109,114,119,124,129,132,136],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":120,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":122,"slug":123},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":131},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":135},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":139},19,"General","general"]
