The sale has now finished. Our books can still be purchased at their usual prices with the links below.
Here we go again… ‘Tis the season for selling stuff at a discount and as such Beatdom is joining just about every other company in the world right now in temporarily lowering its prices. This sale will last from now until… well, let’s say the end of the month. I have to manually change all these numbers, so it’s not an exact science.
Right, let’s get to it.
Kindle books
I love physical books as much as the next curmudgeonly old bookworm, but I also love my Kindle and I really like getting good books loaded on it for less than a dollar. (No “cheap Scotsman” jokes, please.)
As such, I have lowered the prices of almost all our books and journal issues to $0.99. (Unfortunately, some of the more visually complicated ones are impossible to list so low due to Amazon’s policy on minimum pricing, but I’ll reduce them as much as possible.)

Please note that Amazon occasionally updates prices slowly, particularly on the non-US versions of its website. If the books appear more expensive, then wait a few hours and try again.
A few of our books are also on Gumroad, for those who dislike Amazon and/or want to shop elsewhere. On this platform, you can pay what you want. Just name a fair price and you’ll get your digital copy.
Print Books
Next, for those of you who just need the physical version of a book on your shelf, I will lower the price of all our paper books as well. Here are some of the deals we have:

I have only included issues of Beatdom going as far back as 2017. The ones prior to that are already pretty much as cheap as we can sell them individually. If you want to buy some of these, I can offer 2 for $12 or 3 for $16 (plus shipping). Just send me an e-mail and let me know which ones you want. I’ll send you a payment link. There’s a list of back issues here. We only have issues #9 to #23 available right now.
If you do not use Amazon (or prefer not to), then please get in touch at editor [at] beatdom (dot) com. I’ll try to arrange an alternative method so that you don’t miss out on the sale.
There’s still time to pre-order our latest book at a discount. That’s The Burroughs-Warhol Connection by Victor Bockris. The book officially goes on sale on December 1, 2024.
And one more thing…
As you are getting these books at ridiculously low prices (in some cases, I will actually lose money after paying my authors!), please consider leaving a review. This will help us to reach more people in the future. You can leave a review on Amazon, Goodreads, or simply post about it on social media. It is free and only takes a few minutes.
