This is their featured Free eBook of the Month for March, and has been placed on the list of "SF: The 100 Best Novels 1949-1984" over at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database. I've actually bought this one during a previous PPP sale years ago and quite liked it when I read it and would recommend.
Currently free, throughout the month of March directly @ the publisher's promo page (DRM-free ePub & Mobi bundle available worldwide in return for your valid email address)
There's also a tie-in deal to get additional vintage works by authors closely associated with Brackett: for $6.99, you can get a bundle of Best of Edmond Hamilton (Brackett's husband, and she edits and provides an introduction to this collection), a Best of Hal Clement collection, and L. Sprague de Camp's time travel classic Lest Darkness Fall. This is very good value for some excellent old school science fiction, though you may already have portions of it from other PPP giveaways and special offers throughout the years.

You state that "The long tomorrow" is free and that the 4 books bundle is $6.99. Actually these are the minimum prices, and their recommended price for the bundle is actually $12.99, though one can pay even more, or less downto $7. I am new to this and trying to understand. Is your description a shorthand way of giving the information, or is it the case that most people pay the minimum price. The latter can make sense when one buys a lot of bundles, more books that one is going to read, and inputting in the system as much cash as one ever will. It would not make sense with paper books, but does with ebooks that have no marginal cost.
I hope it is not improper to ask this kind of question here.
