Oh, I realize it isn't a full collection. There just doesn't seem to be indication that what you get is "self-contained" in any way (that it doesn't just stop in the middle of a story, for example, like the 'excerpts' and 'samplers' in the Kindle store often do).

Nothing wrong with two free stories, but I wish they would make that clearer in the title.
Better to make sure people are happy about finding two free stories rather than disappointed to discover they weren't getting the full collection they thought they were.

I just scanned through it. It's two complete short stories from the collection.

Didn't see your post. Both stories are complete.

Downpour's deal of the week (ends 7/31/13)

The Zimmermann Telegram by Barbara W. Tuchman for $4.95

Quote:

In the dark winter of 1917, World War I was deadlocked. For Europe to be saved, the United States had to join the war—but President Wilson remained unshakable in his neutrality. Then, with a single stroke, the tool to propel America into the war came into a quiet British office. One of countless messages intercepted by the crack team of British decoders, the Zimmermann telegram was a top-secret message from Berlin inviting Mexico to join Japan in an invasion of the United States: Mexico would recover her lost American territories while keeping the US occupied on her side of the Atlantic. How Britain managed to inform America of Germany’s plan without revealing that the German codes had been broken makes for an incredible true story of espionage, intrigue, and international politics as only Barbara W. Tuchman could tell it.

Audible members, this mission is yours (if you choose to accept it). I've been sniffing around, and I caught whiff of a "Christmas in July" giveaway this morning. It looks like the notification is only going to members though. If you would, please look in your e-mail to see if you have something and post the link here. Last year it worked for more than just members and I am itching to test this out.

Thanks,

Thanks you two - added to OP

This offer should work for all members, paid and unpaid alike. I have a basic free membership and didn't get the email; but I was still able to download all seven free titles.
