And there are some excellent books in the list for this one, including the first of the Aubrey/Maturin series, Master and Commander, read by my preferred reader for the series, Patrick Tull. There is also a Matt Scudder book. Unfortunately, I have both of these, but I'm going to take a look at some of the other offerings.

Here's another Whispersync companion deal. It is for the ebook and audio of John Quincy Adams: American Visionary, by Fred Kaplan, and narrated by Eric Martin.

Note: this is not the same audiobook on John Quincy Adams as the one which is today's (Monday, 02/16/15) Audible Daily Deal! That one is by Harlow Giles Unger, and is narrated by Johnny Heller. It is similarly rated. Being priced at $3.95 it is a good deal, though not as good of a deal if you look at it from a price-per-minute standpoint, at least, with it being only about 1/3 of the length of the one that I'm posting here.

Before I give the details of the deal to you, I must forewarn you that it is more expensive than most that I post--the total price is $8.48. You may not consider that very expensive. I mean, $8.48 certainly isn't a lot to spend nowadays for a high-quality (which this one is) audiobook. I know that if you look even in the bargain section of some audiobook distributors' catalogs, you won't be able to find any audiobook that inexpensive. However, tightwad that I am, I try not to spend more than about 4 or 5 bucks for an audiobook, and I have to swallow hard before I click on "buy" for one more expensive than that. Besides, I have a reputation to uphold, and I don't want you guys thinking that I have gone soft.(ha) I feel that I must justify posting a Whispersync companion deal this pricey.

Well, here's the justification. First, the audio is very long--just under 28 hours! When you look at it from a price per minute standpoint, this deal is a real bargain. Second, the regular Audible audio edition price is $34.95 (full disclosure: but it's one credit for you Audible members)! Compared to the regular price, this deal is less than 1/4 of the price. Wow! Too, with this deal you get the ebook, also, and the Whispersync syncing benefit.

So that you will not think that I'm telling you to "do as I say, and not as I do," I'll let you know that I am going to (swallow hard and) get this deal for myself, as soon as I finish this post.

Okay, here's how you get the deal. Buy the ebook, on markdown now, for $2.99. Then, you can buy the Whispersync companion for $5.49. Total for the deal--$8.48. To grab the deal in the most expeditious manner, I suggest that you start here, at the webpage for the Amazon ebook.

Happy listening (and reading, if you so choose).

AUDIBLE DAILY DEAL....
A towering figure in the formative years of America, John Quincy Adams was the only son of a Founding Father president to become president himself. Pushed by his parents to climb to the heights of their ambitions for him, John Quincy Adams surpassed their expectations -- not only as President of the United States, but also as an ambassador, a powerful voice before the Supreme Court, a fearless secretary of state, a fighting congressman, and America's first champion of human rights.

It shows $2.99 for the whisper sync on the ebook screen but once you buy the free ebook it shows $.99

When you "buy" the free book, you get a pop-up for the 99 cent audiobook. It's the Tantor Josephine Bailey/Simon Prebble version - fifth one down if you click the + next to Audible Edition.

Thanks. one acct shows it isn't whispersync enabled (no subscription on it), the other says it's free with KLL. Argh!

The WFV Ian Holm version that shows as $2.99 was a SYNC title, so you might already have it.
