I am beginning to feel remiss for not posting this before now.

Pen & Sword Books, a publisher in the U.K., has 50 books on sale for only 99p each. For most of these books, that represents 90% or more off of the retail price. Yes, you read that right--90%+!

What little that I know about the publisher, I would think that they produce books (and other publications) of a moderately high quality. It appears that most, if not all, of them are non-fiction works, dealing mainly with British military history of the past century, but especially with that concerning World War II. That description may need some fine tuning; if you need to correct something that I said, or add substantial information to it, by all means please do so, with a post to the thread.

For those of us across the Pond, all appearances are that Pen & Sword does sell ebooks to us. FYI--based upon the current exchange rate, 99p is just short of $1.40.

I think that all of Pen & Sword's ebooks may be only in the ePub format.

Anyway, below is the sale's splash(?) page. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post I have been sitting on information about this sale for a little while, but I think that the sale is still good for at least another week. If my memory serves me well (I couldn't find this information after doing a cursory look on Pen & Sword's website a while ago), the sale was scheduled to last one month.

Now my guilty conscience has been assuaged . . . .
