John Ashdown-Hill wrote a pretty good book (IMO) about the last few months of Richard III's reign, the finding of Richard's burial site, and the DNA work that established his identity. He's also written a number of other biographies of people from this period, mostly normally priced in the US $10 range. His new book, Cecily Neville: Mother of Richard III, came out earlier this year, and has been (per eReaderIQ) sitting at $29.95 since publication. It has now dropped to $5.25 at Kindle US - not a great price, but not too horrible either for a newish non-fiction book, and certainly better than $29.95. It's still over $20 at Kobo US.

I'm a lurker now.
But sometimes I'm going to run across a deal too good not to share. This is one of those deals. The University of Illinois Press currently has all of their ebooks on sale for _$4.99_ each. Read about it at https://t.e2ma.net/message/eya5v/2syejad. You'll find three that actually are _free_, if you'll look around. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 07-19-2018 at 05:50 PM. |

https://www.amazon.ca/Dakota-Spiritu.../dp/B004H1UOEK I just read it in one sitting. It's one of the best things I've read this year. Note, for anyone who may be a bit put off by the suggestion of religion, it's also a great book on modern life on the high plains. |

I may be the only person interested in this bargain, but Never Use Futura is a book about the font of that name which has become as ubiquitous in business as (or even more than) Helvetica.
It is available at Amazon.com for $1.99 |

Guadalcanal Diary by Richard Tregaskis is $CDN 1.99 at amazon.ca today:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01LW89S0Y It was adapted to film for what was a quintessential WW2 Hollywood movie (the Brooklyn cabbie, the Irish padre, ...). I'm curious to see how much the book got mangled by the adaptation. |

Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans by T. R. Fehrenbach has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US as part of the Daily Deal, matched (and coupon/VIPable) at Kobo US. Fehrenback is perhaps better known for his Fire & Blood: A History of Mexico, and, after all, a good chunk of the history of Texas and Mexico is pretty intertwined...

America's Women covers the breadth of US history (more than four centuries) and I found it very interesting when I bought it on sale four years ago.
It is at Amazon.com for $1.99 Also on sale is Vaccinated, which I haven't found time to read yet, but there you go: Amazon.com again at $1.99 Last edited by Dngrsone; 07-31-2018 at 03:05 PM. |

Peter Stark has a very manly and rugged face. More manly than the typical Marlboro Man. He brings us Young Washington: How Wilderness and War Forged America’s Founding Father for $1.99 at Amazon.com. If you can look at that face and not buy this book, then you are beyond all redemption.
William J Bernstein (sadly, the listing does not show us his face) offers us A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World for $1.20 at Amazon.com. |
