Free and bargain Non-Fiction in May 2013
As requested, here is an outline of the purpose of this thread:
We point out free and bargain Non-Fiction to each other, and occasionally recommend certain books that are/were free (or the opposite!). Because Kindle freebies are easiest to find, the majority of the books listed are from Amazon, but freebies and bargains from other retailers and in other formats are more than welcome! In case no retailer is specifically mentioned in a post, it is safe to assume it's for Amazon US. Be aware that many freebies are only free for a day, so grab them fast. Enjoy! |

Free Short "Misery Memoir" from Harper Element
Harper Element has been publishing a lot of nonfiction about abused foster children. They're all from the UK, but they're being sold in the U.S. now, probably for the first time. Many of them have been introduced at bargain prices -- I learned about one of them here.
Here is a free short book by Casey Watson, one of the most popular (and prolific!) authors: Just a Boy: An Inspiring and Heartwarming True Story |

Those who are fascinated with the Tudors can buy "The Tudors: The Complete Story of England's Most Notorious Dynasty" by G. J. Meyer (Kindle Edition) for only $2.99 at Amazon.
Although the cover shows a picture of woman's torso in quite a revealing fashion, don't let the cover fool you. It is not about juicy private life of the Tudors. It is a general history book about the reign of the Tudors. |
