Buy trilogy or series with one click

Status: Heard this before

I've published a trilogy. It would be convenient to group them together and have, for example, a link for "Buy all three books now and get 10% off!" or something similar.

Hi vizikahn, thanks for your suggestion. This is a great idea, and actually many others have suggested something similar before. We'll certainly consider it for the future. Thanks for using Lulu!

Interesting that this week Waterstones have stopped doing that. A nice suggestion but I doubt it will ever happen.

Lulu is selling paperback box sets of well-known authors, for example: http://www.lulu.com/product/boxed-set/his-dark-materials-3c-box-set/6949029 . If I'd be buying Pullman's books now, I would buy a box set instead of hunting for each book individually.

I too doubt that we'll ever have something like this (not that I have anything against that extra piece of packing cardboard), but maybe someday I could at least group my books together in my Spotlight.

This would be a wonderful idea if it were possible to implement

I have three novellas which are avalailable individually or in one innovatingly titled volume: Three Novellas. If your books are not too long you could try it this way.

I would've actually liked to publish it in one volume, but it'd be 1000+ pages and Lulu's limit is 740.

As I feared. We'll just have to wait and see if Lulu pays attention to user suggestions.

Yes it is a good idea, but really all anyone needs to do is click what they wish to buy and it turns in to one order.

I think you will find that some of the famous names you now find on Lulu offering items that we cannot create on Lulu, is Lulu simply opperating as yet one more 'shop-window' for these people and their wares are not being created at or by Lulu at all. I doubt they are even BOD, but ordered out of bulk-stock.

I suppose one way around this is to order your own books. Get some place to make the boxes for you, then you slip your books into the boxes, then sell direct.
