Bargain (nook) Toll-Gate by Georgette Heyer $1.99

apesmom · 09-14-2011, 11:46 AM

Barnes & Noble has Heyer's The Toll-Gate for $1.99 pre-Order (10-1-2011)

Quote:

His exploits were legendary...
Captain John Staple, back from the battlefront, is already bored with his quiet civilian life in the country. When he stumbles upon a mystery involving a disappearing toll-gate keeper, nothing could keep the adventure-loving captain from investigating.
But winning her will be his greatest yet...
The plot thickens when John encounters the enigmatic Lady Nell Stornaway and soon learns that rescuing her from her unsavory relatives makes even the most ferocious cavalry charge look like a particularly tame hand of loo. Between hiding his true identity from Nell and the arrival in the neighborhood of some distinctly shady characters, Captain Staple finds himself embarked on the adventure-and romance-of a lifetime.

Way cool - I had wished this one had been available during the Georgette Heyer birthday sale a while back, and now here it is at a very reasonable price.

Now if only there would be a reasonably priced e-book version of The Unknown Ajax, which is my absolute favorite of her books. Sadly it was in "pre-release" (Sept 1, 2011) during the birthday sale, and so didn't get discounted, and now it's out at $8.XX and up. It does look as if it might be discountable, though, so maybe I'll get lucky and be able to pair it up with a coupon some day...

Many of Georgette Heyer's books are back to $1.99 too, for those who missed the previous sale -> Amazon link

Note to self: notice the qualifier in the post above mine:"for those who missed the previous sale". Now repeat after me, "I bought 32 books then; ergo, I did not miss the sale. I will move right along, I will not go check on the ones I did not buy, I will move right along ..." Repeat as many times as necessary until the urge passes.

I preordered this one the other day. I got all the ones I wanted in the previous sale just didn't buy her mysteries so I'm good.
