I like this idea and think it’s worth you taking further. My initial reactions are:
Getting more EA books into peoples hands seems great and worth much more per book than the cost of a book.
I don’t know how much of a bottleneck the price of a book is to buying them for friends/club members. I know EA Oxford has given away many books, I’ve also bought several for friends (and one famous person I contacted on instagram as a long shot who actually replied.
I’d therefore be interested in something which aimed to establish whether making books cheaper was a better or worse idea than just encouraging people to gift them.
John Behar/TLYCS probably have good thoughts on this.
Do you have any thoughts as to what the next step would be. It’s not obvious to me what you’d do to research the impact of this.
Perhaps have a questionnaire asking people how many people they’d give books to at different prices. Do we know the likelihood of people reading a book they are given?
