US Copyrights are for the author's life plus 100 years. Douglas died in 1951. EDIT: I may be wrong about that. US copyright laws have changed too much. The Robe is in Canadian public domain. |

10th in a series, but the whole series is not yet Kindle-ized. I’m not familiar with this book or the series, so I don’t know if this can be read as a stand alone or not. Anyway, I came across it and thought it would be worth posting here due to the price.  The Forgotten Man: A NovelAuthor: Robert Crais Price: $1.99 |

 3.50 I have always wanted to read this one about Mount Everest but it got lost along the way, now I get it on Kindle for a bargain.  2.80 I think this will be an eye opening read and I am very interested in it. |

 Christ the Lord: Out of EgyptAuthor: Anne Rice Price: $3.34~4 stars (out of 5) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Blackwood Farm: The Vampire ChroniclesAuthor: Anne Rice Price: $3.71~3.5 stars (out of 5) Amazon.com ReviewBlackwood Farm features characters from both the Vampire Chronicles and the Mayfair Witches series, but this self-contained novel makes a good entry point for newcomers to Anne Rice's fictional world (however, Vampire Chronicle virgins really should start with Interview With the Vampire, the first in the series and arguably the finest vampire novel of the 20th century). -- Cynthia Ward |

Anyway, I came across it and thought it would be worth posting here due to the price. The Forgotten Man: A NovelAuthor: Robert Crais Price: $1.99There are a couple of references to an ex-girlfriend but nothing that would cause you to be wondering what's going on. This one you can read as a stand alone. |

Laura1234, who is the admin at Girlebooks, gave us some good info on copyrights here http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,1782.msg62315.html#msg62315and also a link to look up copyright renewals. After the HP fiasco, we should be wary. I'm beginning to wonder about other books that have disappeared from Amazon. |

Glad you like this one, Linda. I think they may have temporarily lowered the price on it for the New Year - what with all those new leaves getting turned over and everything. -X- |

The precedent set by the Google Books settlement will pretty much allow anyone to offer a book for sale until the rightful copyright owner challenges. We’ll see a lot more books popping up and vanishing until some heavy-hitter challenges the existing body of law. |

RE: Memoirs of a Slave Girl (see links in several posts above, since it didn't quote) vs Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.. I think it is PraiseGod because I looked at both of them. I think it will be an emotional read but as I said I have great interest in it.
I think it is, too, I have a sample of Incidents in the Live published by Girlebooks that starts with the same words in the first chapter, but in addition there is a table of contents, introduction and more. That version is $1.00 and there are a few versions.. just use this same link and then click on the author's name and you'll see a whole list, ranging from $0.00 - $3.50. I agree, it looks quite worth reading to me. Lynn D |

They are one and the same. I am reading Incidents of a Slave Girl, it was only .99. Very interesting since I was born and raised in the south but very sad. I am enjoying it and the history I am learning. |

This is the only bundle of 4 books for 13.47 I could find so I assume it was this one?  The sample of this pulled me in, so I got the bundle. It's the most I've spent at one fell swoop on ebooks, but it's a four book series, so it'll keep me busy for awhile. I seem to be alternating vampire/zombie books with other genres. |

I will NEVER understand Kindle pricing! 9.99 for the 1st book in the series and 2.65 for the second?! If the first book was $2.65, I would have bought it and likely ended up buying the rest of the series. As it is, I will likely pass because its not usually my cup of tea and 9.99 is too steep to try it out on a whim, and I hate starting a series in the middle. Seriously.....these publishers need to take some marketing classes!! |
