Although I do like having my section of the board called "What's Hot" and plan to keep it running, especially after we discover something that truly is hot that may not have been obvious to everyone before, it's still not enough to be the type of board I would ultimately like to become. Nothing beats good info when you get it early. How early do I want? Well, the earlier the better! Lets put it this way....If it has to be put into "What's hot" its probably already too late. The main reason is, the books are out already and being swamped up. It's great to keep the "What's hot" section going in case we just happen to run into that book at cover price and know its hot because we said so! So dont get me wrong, keep that section going.
But it would be better to have this section being even better than that one. If you know before it comes out, maybe you can get a few copies on the cheap when it comes out. What would be the ultimate though? The ultimate would be to know what is hot while there is still time to pre-order the books! That's generally 2-4 months before the books actually come out. And that's typically before the average fan and speculator has picked up on the fact too. Sure, some people will be right there with us scooping up the good books before everyone else does. But the key is to be one of those people! There is plenty to go around in the early days before the books come out. There is too much competition AFTER the books are out.
So that is why I created this new thread area where knowing early is the best news you can get! If we are wrong a few times, who cares? I'd rather take a chance at being wrong than miss the times we were right! So anytime anyone has a hunch something COULD or SHOULD be big, please...create a new thread in this area and talk about it. That way we can have a before, during and after area. It may seem like nothing now. But over a long period of time, this kind of stuff could add up and make this an even better place to come to!
