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!

Chicago Univ Press:
Playing in Time: Essays, Profiles, and Other True Stories
Carlo Rotella
288 pages
Quote:

“The strength of his new essay collection comes from the odd places he finds these headliners: on the suburban D.C.-area blues circuit, in Chicago’s polka clubs and at fantasy jazz camps in the Northeast. But like other greats of the nonfiction craft—Joan Didion, John Jeremiah Sullivan—Rotella’s own personality eventually comes through.”—Time Out Chicago
