A Century of Chinese Film is the commemorative e-book version of a major exhibition last year at the Toronto International Film Festival, free courtesy of the TIFF organizers themselves.
This is an amazingly nice freebie and very likely the second-best freebie we've been given that I've ever seen. Seriously, this is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

I am one who loathes iTunes; I know that there are others share my feelings, but I don't know how many others. I will probably pass up this deal because of that, although it sounds like a really nice book (thanks ATDrake for posting it!).
I wish that all ebook publishers who publish on iTunes would make their offerings available simultaneously on at least the Kindle format also. Does anyone know why a publisher wouldn't (in order to keep from being egregiously O.T.,
no discussion please)? Thankfully, the iTunes-only thingie seems to be pretty rare.
Okay, I've vented my spleen.
