One can never be too well-read.

The price discrepancy seems to happen often. As a rule, if you see a book that looks too cheap to be true (Stephen King for 2.75, Neil Gaiman for 3.39) grab it, because the price is going to jump back up within the day, most likely.

Not once in my life has my train of thought taken a straight path between point A and point B without stopping to visit Y and F along the way.

Linda the picture of the book is the link.
I think I lost my mind. I know that but I could have sworn the first time I read the post the link was not there! What can I say... I've had a bad day.    Oh well I got the books and that is all that matters.  |

Yikes. That’s a heavy burden. (Where's that “worried” smiley?)
Sorry Jeff. I should have had a happier smiley on my post. Out of habit, I used the keystrokes for the winking smiley on my other forum.  |

That is exactly why I decided to buy it, instead of sample. Sorry for those of you that missed it. |

Oh my - ain't that the truth! Btw, The Quinn Brothers shot up to $9.99 within a few hours of the previous mention as a bargain. If it looks likes you might want it: you had better get it while the gettin' is good because the discount price usually evaporates within a few hours. And you can always return it within 7 days if you conclude that the book was a bad (for you) purchase. (For what it's worth: I have never returned a Kindle book. But I just wanted to remind folks that it is do-able). |

 New on Amazon. $2.84 is a great price for an introduction to Brin's "Uplift" series of books that are very good. I remember it had a cool cover  ...I hope they update it! |

Yes, this particular instance of a penny price is definitely worth what it costs. I got it last night. It's waiting it's turn in the ever lengthening line of Kindle reads. I don't think I'll ever get caught up. If only I was guaranteed to live healthily and soundly until I catch up my reading. It might be interesting to be 142 yrs old.

Its been a long time......but I think this was the one I started with and it made sense. I think most of his books were set in the same "universe" but not sequential with characters continuing, etc.

The Field: Truth and Fiction in Sports History $0.01 The hardcover description seems to describe this as a textbook. I wonder if this lends credence to the Textbook Kindle rumour? |

Very interesting. The Field in hardback is $210. Editorial Reviews
Review
Winner: North American Society for Sports History Book of the Year, 2006.
Product Description
Sport history now provides a burgeoning literature, exploring themes from aerobics to yachting. Though the field is in good health Douglas Booth argues that in comparison to most mainstream history, sport history has rarely been called upon to question the foundations of its historical knowledge.
In The Field: Truth and Fiction in Sport History, Booth offers a comprehensive assessment of sport history as an academic discipline, exploring the ways in which professional historians can gather materials, construct and interrogate evidence and arguments, and present their stories about the sporting past.
- Part I examines theories of knowledge in sport history.
- Part II examines the uses of historical knowledge in popular and academic studies of sport history.
In advocating greater reflexivity and openness, The Field makes clear the need for a new rationale within sport history, and sets the agenda for the debate to come.
With a clear structure, sport-specific examples, summary tables and a detailed glossary of terms, The Field provides students, teachers and researchers in sport history with an unparalleled resource to tackle issues that are fundamental to the future of their subject.
About the Author
Douglas Booth is Professor of Sport and Leisure Studies at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. He serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Sport History, Sport History Review and The International Journal of the History of Sport.
He is a well-known, respected and popular sport historian, with a high profile in the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. His book The Race Game: Politics and Sport in South Africa (Frank Cass) was awarded the 1998 North American Society for Sport History "Book of the Year."

This plan will only work if you get everybody to agree to stop writing more books! |

I kind of like the idea better that they keep writing and I keep living healthily indefinitely.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that when I post a book here in the Bargain Thread it is NOT a recommendation from me. It is merely a post about a book that is currently available at a frugal price-point. Nothing more than that. If I have a book recommendation I will post it in the recommendation thread.The following are the 'bargain' price Kindle books that I stumbled upon today:  An Abundance of KatherinesAuthor: John Green Price: $3.19 ============================  No True Glory: Fallujah and the Struggle in Iraq: A Frontline AccountAuthor: Bing West Price: $3.99 ============================  Fresh Wind, Fresh FireAuthor: Jim Cymbala Price: $3.99 ============================== This one is for you, Dr. D …   A Stone Creek Christmasby Linda Lael Miller $3.60

If I have a book recommendation I will post it in the recommendation thread. Well, if you have a book that you recommend and is also a bargain, can you post it here too? I don't check that other thread nearly as often as I check this one, so I'd hate to miss anything. |

I've actually never posted in that thread. Not yet anyway. I was just attempting to post a disclaimer here that just cuz I post a bargain book here does not mean that I am endorsing the product. Hmm. Now that you've brought it up perhaps I should toddle on over and post some of my recommendations in that thread! Hey, CS - shoot me a PM about your preferred genre and I'll see if I can recommend something you might like. Your cyber pal, -X- P.S. I just finished this book on my Kindle, and at $4.79 it was worth the price:  But everyone's tastes are different. Let me know what you like to read and I'll see if I can recommend something. |
