Good value books
What ebooks have you bought recently that were good value?
I just bought this book from Waterstones. It's the sort of book that I wouldn't normally buy new, but at this price, it's worth it. Good for dipping into when you have the odd minute, and often raises a smile, which has to be worth the price of a pint. I've got lots of "worthy" classics on my reader, so it's good to get some other kinds of stuff. |

The 'good value' book's title referenced above is this:
"It Is Just You, Everything's Not Shit" by Steve Stacks. I'm not familiar with the author. Don |

The book is a response to "Is it just me or is everything shit?" - a fairly popular book which is essentially an alphabetical list of things to grumble about. This response is an alphabetical list of positive things instead. It's lightweight, but I thought it was worth £2.st
I posted this because I'd struggled to find much at Waterstones at a reasonable price that wasn't already available free (there's a lot there that's available from Gutenberg that they've stuck a fancy cover on). My idea was that people might have found other stuff at a reasonable price (that can be bought from the UK!), but I think that there are probably other threads that cover this better. |
