A collection of the first three Omar Yussef mysteries by Matt Beynon Rees (also sometimes just listed as Matt Rees) is available on Kobo India for ~250 rupees. It's couponable in India, and probably elsewhere. The three books are: The Bethlehem Murders (apa The Collaborator of Bethelehem), The Saladin Murders (apa A Grave in Gaza) and The Samaritan's Secret. I've read the first two in this series and found them excellent, if a bit gritty. (How could they not be, describing life in Palestine...)

The Camilla MacPhee Mysteries 6-Book Bundle by Mary Jane Maffini contains the first six books (the only six, according to the Stop You're Killing Me website) in the series:
Quote:
The Icing on the Corpse Little Boy Blues The Devil's in the Details The Dead Don't Get Out Much Law and Disorder It's a little odd, because only five books are listed in the "title" area of the buncle, but all six are listed in the description. I haven't bought the bundle, just came across it on the way to something else, so I can't vouch for whether there are five or six in the set. It's available and couponable in Kobo India, and probably a number of other Kobo stores. Product Info: Dundurn, July 2013 ISBN: 9781459722736 Last edited by sufue; 06-07-2014 at 10:37 AM. |

The Meg Harris Mysteries 5-Book Bundle by R.J. Harlick contains the first five books (again, the only five, according to the Stop You're Killing Me website) in the series:
Death's Golden Whisper Red Ice for a Shroud The River Runs Orange Arctic Blue Death A Green Place for Dying Quote:

Interesting ... Kobo US has the 5 book R.J. Harlick bundle for $21.69. They also have a 6 book bundle, same five books plus Silver Totem of Shame, for $21.69. At the very least the math they use for figuring the discount off the combined total of individual books is wrong since they show the same figures for 6 books that they show for 5.

It doesn't show for Kobo Aus or Canada or India. However, no doubt because Hemingway is in the public domain in Canada, most of his books seem to be priced between CAD$0.99 and $2.99 and discountable. Excellent value!!! (I'm still keen on the entire Scribner Collection though, so I hope they're released sooner rather than later to the other Kobo sites) Edit Many of Hemingway's books are between AUD$.99 and $2.99 in Aus as well and discountable. (At Amazon Aus they all seem to be over $9) Last edited by Lynx-lynx; 06-08-2014 at 07:41 PM. Reason: add the edit |

The four books are Bruno, Chief of Police The Dark Vineyard Black Diamond The Crowded Grave A synopsis is here: Spoiler:
And omnibus info is here: HarperCollins Canada, April 2013 ISBN: 9781443425568 |

Anne of Green Gables Anthology--It's Huge and It's Free!
Several days ago I panned Anne of Green Gables, in a post that I made. I said something like "if you listen to it (it was a SYNC audiobook), you should take lots of No-Doz or several cups of espresso beforehand because it is very long and very boring," or something to that effect.
Well, I have considered my ways since then. I come to you (well, actually I'm staying right here where I'm at, but you get the point) with a contrite heart. I wish to make amends. I found this anthology of Green Gables stories, which anthology I am now posting. It is huge (2352 pages), and it's free. I hope now that you will find it in your heart to forgive this truly, truly penitent man. Anne of Green Gables Stories: 12 Books, 142 Short Stories, Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne's House of Dreams, Rainbow Valley, Rilla of Ingleside, Chronicles and More. By Lucy Maud Montgomery; Timeless Reads. Rated 4 1/2 stars from 382 reviews at present moment. Digital list price $1.99; Kindle price now $0.00. http://www.amazon.com/Anne-Green-Gab...icles+and+More. Book Description The Anne of Green Gables Series and MUCH MORE in one Collection! As the father of four daughters who LOVE the Anne books, I set out to create the ultimate Kindle edition of these timeless books. I wanted a perfectly-formatted, easy-to-use Kindle release that included these amazing books at a fantastic price. And here is the result! This exciting collection has these great features: -The complete text of eight great books featuring Anne "with an e" Shirley -Three additional novels from Lucy Maud Montgomery -One complete book of poetry by Montgomery, "The Watchman and Other Poems" -142 wonderful short stories written by Montgomery -Links to download the unabridged audiobooks of all 11 novels for FREE! -The ability to easily jump to any book using the Kindle "go to" feature -An individual, active table of contents for each book so you can go to any chapter -Clean formatting, giving you full control over fonts and font sizes -Did I mention an unbeatable price? All titles in this Anne of Green Gables collection, along with their publication date, are listed below. -Anne of Green Gables (1908) -Anne of Avonlea (1909) -Anne of the Island (1915) -Anne's House of Dreams (1917) -Rainbow Valley (1919) -Rilla of Ingleside (1921) -Chronicles of Avonlea (1912) -Further Chronicles of Avonlea (1920) -The Story Girl (1911) -The Golden Road (Sequel to The Story Girl, 1913) -Kilmeny of the Orchard (1910) -The Watchman and Other Poems (1916) -The Short Story Collection (1896-1922) Unfortunately, there are two books in the Anne of Green Gables series which were published later and can't yet be included in this Kindle collection because of copyright restrictions. These are "Anne of Windy Poplars" (1936) and "Anne of Ingleside" (1939). |

Note that these are in the public domain in "life+70" countries, since L.M. Montgomery died in 1942. They are only protected by copyright in the US.

But isn't it true that it is legal to download those from, say, an Australian site only if the person is in (and maybe a resident in) that country? If I am in the United States (which I am), wouldn't it would be a violation of U.S. copyright laws to download those from an Australian site? I'm not asking to debate the issue, I'm genuinely asking for information. |
