David Ridgus Posted 1 September , 2014 Share Posted 1 September , 2014 Recently bought it in paperback - first rate. A steal at this price and so soon after paperback publication David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ridgus Posted 1 September , 2014 Share Posted 1 September , 2014 Sorry Hazel, it's just coincidence honest! But I really am surprised at Senior's book being 'remaindered' on the internet within a couple of weeks of publication. Chris Baker amongst other luminaries was lauding it elsewhere on the Forum. On this one I'm just following the crowd David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgranger Posted 1 September , 2014 Share Posted 1 September , 2014 It'll probably go back to it's 'real' price shortly. Amazon often reduce prices for an indeterminate period, then revert, so get 'em while they're hot, is my motto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelclark Posted 2 September , 2014 Share Posted 2 September , 2014 I'm afraid that Kindle's have certain drawbacks (I was warned) with respect to reading books which are dependent on maps for comprehension. Like the one I bought this morning! Can anyone suggest a book of maps that I can use alongside the Kindle? Thanks, Hazel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, Arthur Banks Military Atlas ( may not be quite the right title) though quite elderly, isn't bad. It's about to be republished by Pen & Sword, I think.

Thanks Paul, will check that out. I have wanted something like that for a while, but it would appear that the "K" machine has exacerbated the problem!

CarylW Posted 11 September , 2014 Author Share Posted 11 September , 2014 Free at the moment 'A Hoxton Childhood' A S Jasper's memoir of a childhood spent in the East end of London during the First World War http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoxton-Childhood-S-Jasper-ebook/dp/B00KY57J5K/ref=sr_1_12?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1410422652&sr=1-12&keywords=memoirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted 11 September , 2014 Share Posted 11 September , 2014 My UK Kindle Daily Deal email normally includes a romance novel, another novel, usually but not always crime or thriller, and one non-fiction book. There are exceptions: today's offered all 19 books in a series of crime novels. There are also monthly offers. September's includes A. J. P. Taylor's War by Timetable: How the First World War Began for 99p. Ian Senior's Invasion 1914 is still £1.09. Amazon's website says that there are 1,682,914 non fiction books available on Kindle. Of these, 173,837 are listed as history and 28,833 as military history. There is not a separate First World War category, but I would guess it accounts for about 25% of military history books from searches on First World War, Great War, WWI and WW1, and also by looking at the bookshelves of Waterstone's. These numbers suggest that the number of WWI books in the Kindle Daily and Monthly Deals recently has been quite high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulgranger Posted 9 October , 2014 Share Posted 9 October , 2014 Adrian Gilbert 'Challenge of Battle' is 99p today, but it might have been that low for a bit. Also Huntley Gordon's memoir 'The Unreturning Army' is £3.99,although I seem to have had a 12p additional discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelclark Posted 9 October , 2014 Share Posted 9 October , 2014 I got Gilbert's book about a week ago (and did post at the time) so it may have been on sale for a while. The other, I will look for. thanks, H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
