$7.00 or
$4.95/$4.99 (the only other price point that I saw):
A Man for All Markets, by Thorp, Edward O. About a man who figured out, mathematically, how to beat the blackjack dealer at casinos, and how he did it.
$4.99.
Heaven and Hell: A History of the Afterlife, by Ehrman, Bart D. I haven't seen this Ehrman tome before. Probably nothing new here, except for the fact that the book's written by Ehrman, instead of someone else.
$7.00.
Barack Obama: The 60 Minutes Interviews: Introduced with new commentary, by Kroft, Steve. 7 hours and 10 minutes of interviews. Kroft "conducted more one-on-one television interviews with Barack Obama than any other journalist."
$7.00.
She Come By It Natural: Dolly Parton and the Women Who Lived Her Songs, by Smarsh, Sarah. Perhaps a winner for Parton fans. The book's greatest asset is possibly the fact that it's so new, being published just this past October.
$7.00.
