Black Friday?

In the past I've had some Black Friday sales, but this will be the first year that SECRETS OF ACTION SCREENWRITING has been available as an e-book, and Amazon pretty much controls the price and promotions, so it's just regular price (which is over $500 less than the used price when it was still out of print). Makes a great gift - and Amazon can even send it as a gift for you.
