The Best of Printers Row, Volume One: Author Interviews and Literary Essays by the staff of The Chicago Tribune is a compilation of author interviews, book reviews, and literary essays from the newspaper's literary supplement beginning in 2012, free courtesy of publisher Agate's Digital imprint.

This is pretty nifty and covers not just literary fiction, but also genre authors as diverse and popular as thriller novelist Gillian Flynn and LGBT comic strip creator Alison Bechdel, as well as tributes to the late speculative fiction great Ray Bradbury, and many more.

Currently free, probably just until the weekend @ Amazon (not available to Canadians).

ETA: now a repeat freebie that's also newly available @ B&N (also UK) & Amazon UK & iTunes (not available to Canadians), and may also show up later as a DRM-free PDF download from the publisher's webcatalogue page, as Agate freebies sometimes do.

And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because not only is it quality non-fiction, which we rather rarely get any of the latter portion of that combination, much less the full set of it, it's quality non-fiction that's Relevant To My Interests™, as I'm a sucker for the behind-the-scenes making-of and analysis features, especially when it involves authors and genres I actually do regularly read and am familiar with.

It's too bad that Agate seem to no longer be offering their current freebies @ B&N and/or Kobo and haven't made this one a time-limited PDF direct download from their website as they have for previous ones, since this really does deserve to see a wider audience, IMHO, but aside from that,

(And they're couponable @ Kobo if anything in their catalogue really interests you, and generally not geo-restricted.)

Enjoy!
