There's just a few hours left in Smashwords' RAEBW sale, and for those who skipped the dedicated thread, Bev Editions is offering some rather good Canadian backlist non-fiction freebies, including history and recent affairs. Also, if you've an interest in LGBT cultural theory/self-help, Lethe Press is also offering 75% off selected titles.

Linkage to the publisher page for Bev Editions (almost everything is free or 50% off, and they have over a half-dozen non-fic freebies). They've biographies of 17th century military and cultural notables, true crime with spies and drug dealers, and fascism and communism in Canada, among other things, if you're interested, all previously print-published.

Random sampling of the freebie titles (even more on their catalogue page):

General Miranda's Wars: Turmoil and Revolt in Spanish America, 1750-1816

The Spy Within: Larry Chin and China's Penetration of the CIA

Reds Under the Bed: How Communists Frightened the Canadian Establishment, 1928-32

Sex, Rock & History

Sadomasochism and Ardent Love: An Historical Perspective

Linkage to Lethe Press (only a handful of things in their very large catalogue free, and hard to tell which ones without checking the individual title pages, unfortunately), where most of the non-fic seems to be discounted.
