Today’s KDD: “Select Kindle nonfiction best sellers, $1.49 & up”

Today’s

Kindle Daily Deal (at AmazonSmile…benefit a non-profit of your choice by shopping*)

is a great selection of non-fiction!

If you are what I call a “piece buyer”, where you generally pay for books one at a time (as opposed to borrowing books, for example), I think you are likely to see something interesting. If not, remember that you can buy these books at the discount, and then either delay delivery until the appropriate gift-giving occasion, or even send it to yourself to print out and give whenever you want (you can wrap it, if you want).

As always, check the price before you click/tap/eye gaze (the last in virtual/augmented reality) before you buy: the prices may not apply in your country, and it’s possible the book will move out of the sale before you see this.

Titles include:

• The Lost City of the Monkey God by Douglas Preston
• D Day Through German Eyes by Holger Eckhertz
• Carrier Pilot by Norman Hanson
• The Telomere Effect by Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn

Cryptozoology A To Z: The Encyclopedia of Loch Monsters, Sasquatch, Chupacabras, and Other Authentic Mysteries of Nature by Loren Coleman (at AmazonSmile*)

Note: this is the paperback. For some reason, I couldn’t make the Kindle book for this one public (like I could with Kris’ book). I really wanted this one to be public, because the whole goal is to promote Loren Coleman’s medical expense fund GoFundMe campaign. I’ve never met Loren personally, and we have no shared business interests, although we have had some correspondence. I’ve read Loren’s books for decades, and admire how the cryptozoologist/Fortean helps others, including being the Director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Maine (although in so many smaller ways, too). It’s sad to me that someone who has done so much is having trouble dealing with medical expense (due to multiple operations). That doesn’t stop Loren from going to the Bigfoot festival in Willow Creek, California tomorrow, but for people who have enjoyed and benefited from Loren’s work, the medical expenses fund is an opportunity to do a thank you. Almost 500 (477) people have entered in about three days, and they’ve all tweeted (as a requirement to entry) a link to the fund’s page. I do not ask people to endorse the fund or to ask other people to contribute (or for them to contribute themselves)…I’m just hoping to raise the profile so people who might want to contribute and don’t know about it get the word.
