Today's U.S. non-fiction Kindle Daily Deal is As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto for $1.99. This was a Daily Deal last year on this day (August 15 is Child's birthday), so you may have picked it up then. If not, I'd recommend it. Even if you don't care about cooking, the letters are a fascinating window into 1950s upper-class lives.

In other words, some of the most fascinating stories to come out of the Cold War are now being declassified. From the article with the documents from George Washington University: Quote:

The Courtiers
by Lucy Worsley is today's Kindle Daily Deal. It can be downloaded for $2.99 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...d_i=1000677541 Below is the blurb: Kensington Palace is now most famous as the former home of Diana, Princess of Wales, but the palace's glory days came between 1714 and 1760, during the reigns of George I and II . In the eighteenth century, this palace was a world of skulduggery, intrigue, politicking, etiquette, wigs, and beauty spots, where fans whistled open like switchblades and unusual people were kept as curiosities. Lucy Worsley's The Courtiers charts the trajectory of the fantastically quarrelsome Hanovers and the last great gasp of British court life. Structured around the paintings of courtiers and servants that line the walls of the King's Staircase of Kensington Palace-paintings you can see at the palace today-The Courtiers goes behind closed doors to meet a pushy young painter, a maid of honor with a secret marriage, a vice chamberlain with many vices, a bedchamber woman with a violent husband, two aging royal mistresses, and many more. The result is an indelible portrait of court life leading up to the famous reign of George III , and a feast for both Anglophiles and lovers of history and royalty. |

Re: Courtier
Unfortunately, I'm not home but in a spot where I'm lucky to get email or read this board. By the time I'd be able to download anything, the sale will be over. If I see something good, I usually order then download later. Thanks for the tip, though - appreciate the thought.
