Inside Out: Straight Talk from a Gay Jock http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inside-Out-S...=discounter-21 In public, Mark Tewksbury has always credited the 1976 Olympics as a major inspiration for his becoming an Olympic champion swimmer, but in fact, it was wearing a towel–turban in imitation of his grandmother and swimming in her condo pool that first sparked his love of swimming.

This seems like an oddly random list. I really wonder how (and why) the publishers chose their sacrificial freebies. Unless it's just to lure people in by giving the appearance of lots of nice free stuff, without, perhaps, the actuality of it.
As a Canadian, I'm mildly tempted to try and find a free/pay-as-you-go UK-based VPN proxy (assuming one exists) and perhaps attempt to get the stuff that seems vastly more applicable to my country than anywhere else in the Commonwealth. Incidentally, that book on the Spanish Civil War? Is actually pretty decent and the best offering of the lot. My uni's library has it on their shelves, and I had to skim it for a class a couple of semesters ago. Well worth picking up. |

It might be there will be lots of alignment with the UK store and the current Canadian titles are part of the bait for a Kindleized Amazon.ca about to open. Just thinking out loud here .... |
