I'm winding down my posts about Palgrave's daily (sort of) deals. I feel like people will have decided by now whether or not the deals interest them and, if so, can make a point to check for themselves. I can move on and use the time to find some other great deals to highlight for you.
Of course, I reserve the right to post one every now and then that I consider an especially good book and/or great value.
Here's one piece of information that you might be interested in knowing. I bought one of the sale books ($9.99) for the first time, three or four days ago.
After I purchased the book, I got this advertisement, I suppose that you would call it:
Congratulations!

I don't understand the meaning of $/£5. Another place has simply £5. I going to assume that £5 is correct. £5, at the current exchange rate, is about $6.75. A common price point for a Palgrave sale book is $9.99. Therefore, wouldn't one at that price, using the gift card, amount to only about $3.75 ($10 - $6.75)? If so, what a deal!
However, if the meaning of $/£5 for Americans is $5, that would still make a deal only about $5.00 ($10 - $5). Again, that's on a deal of $9.99, as we commonly see.
The December 31, 2018 ending date is a nice plus, too.
