Free ebook today only: Roger Ebert, Awake in the Dark
U of Chicago Press evidently does this for one day every month. I assume it is the last day of the month.
PDF format with Adobe DRM http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ebooks/free_ebook.html |

You can find it for $9.99 at Amazon as well. So if a person misses the free edition the kindle edition of the book isn't too expensive.

Cool, thanks! Roger Ebert is cool, and I'm not just saying that because he e-mailed in response to one of my usenet posts years ago.
Did you follow the link to the other e-books available from U of Chicago Press? Holy moley, that's quite a selection, from novels and poetry to (of course) all sorts of reference books and nonfiction! They even have the Richard Stark books. |

Shoot! It's only 10 pm here, but it's after midnight in Chicago, so they have a different book up now. I wish I'd seen this earlier - I adore RE.
Dang! |

With DRM
By *not* downloading this book (when it was available), I hereby state my opinion about the whole DRM crap. |
