Free and bargain Non-Fiction in August 2013
As requested, here is an outline of the purpose of this thread:
We point out free and bargain Non-Fiction to each other, and occasionally recommend certain books that are/were free (or the opposite!). Because Kindle freebies are easiest to find, the majority of the books listed are from Amazon, but freebies and bargains from other retailers and in other formats are more than welcome! In case no retailer is specifically mentioned in a post, it is safe to assume it's for Amazon US. Be aware that many freebies are only free for a day, so grab them fast. Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------- Chicago Univ Press: Playing in Time: Essays, Profiles, and Other True Stories Carlo Rotella 288 pages Quote:

Thanks for that. Crossan is always an interesting, if controversial, author. One of those thoughtful writers who falls in the category of people you may not always agree with but can't ignore. I'll download it to my ever more bloated TBR list pronto.

I was just searching for a travel guide for an upcoming trip, and noticed that a bunch of Lonely Planet guides are free at Amazon. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but I did a quick search and it appears no one has mentioned this in the last few months, at least. Of course, the one I was interested in is NOT free, and the selection is fairly random, ranging from Discover the Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel to The Phillipines, and also with a bunch of "specialty" ones about Britain (Culture Vulture Britain, Mini Britain, Tasty Britain, etc.) but who knows, you might get lucky.
I don't know how to do advanced searches on Amazon very well, so this is just a search for Lonely Planet as publisher, sorted by price, and the first ones are the freebies. There are 15 free right now. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=...oks-Submit.y=9 Last edited by sufue; 08-11-2013 at 11:49 AM. |

In case there are any neo-pagans here (or anyone else that finds this stuff fascinating), Wicca Magickal Beginnings by Sorita D'este and David Rankine is free at Amazon.
