Also an attractive Whispersync price.

This fits in nicely with one of my annual challenges; thanks!

ETA: Since it's Simon & Schuster, it should be priced the same at other purveyors (i.e. Kobo) in Canada and the US.

Thanks to both of you.

I tend to go audio lately, because I have quite a bit of time for listening now, but very little for reading. The Whispersync deal might be a must-buy. The ebook has 612 pages, so that translates into a long narration (think: "bang for the buck"), and the audio alone at Audible is $29.95!

Polk is not a well-known President, possibly because, it seems to me, the Mexican-American War is not taught much in American schools. What little that I have heard puts Polk in a poor light, because of his connection with the War. I would like to know the facts of the matter.
