Lots of classic books in Kindle collections -- free
From SlickDeals.
https://slickdeals.net/f/14022026-fr...d-833bea431d04 I never heard of 10 Days in Madhouse, by Nellie Bly. Which is not part of a collection. They also have the Anne of Gable collection. Jane Austen's complete books, 500 Fairy Tales and Frankenstein and Oz collections. (I didn't get any of these mentioned in this paragraph.) Quality looks good on the books I did download. |

It's actually quite well known in the field of mental health. Excerpts from it were required reading in a upper division college course I took on sociology of mental illness. (Said course kicked my tail with its reading load of several hundred pages a week...but was an excellent course...)

This reminds me of a book about mental illness and an asylum that I would like to reread but is no longer in print and not available as an ebook, The Snake Pit. Another orphan book I guess. |

Nellie Bly was also part of a publicity stunt where she traveled Around the World in Seventy-Two Days .

Regarding "Ten Days in Madhouse"(sic) the title doesn't give me much confidence in the quality of the specific edition in question.

The listing at Amazon is poor, but the book, itself, seems to be typeset well and the books title is Ten Days in a Mad-House. I've attached screen capture to show the Chapter layout...
