I wouldn't have thought I'd have so much trouble finding the right book.
I'd like to find something that is meaty, is between $30-50 in price, and I can't buy a good used version of the same book for like $10.
I'm primarily interested in medieval warfare, and to some extent WW2 Pacific warfare.
For example, this book: http://www.amazon.com/Tournaments-Jousts-Chivalry-Pageants-Middle/dp/0851157815/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417114380&sr=1-1&keywords=medieval+tournaments
is $27 new paperback, but I can find hardback used copies starting from a penny...so there's no point in spending $30 on a paperback when I can find a very good to new hardback for much less, even with the discount.
Who knew it would be so hard to spend free money? ::)
They never said it would be easy my friend ;) If it was than anybody could be a Groghead !
Thanks for the heads up Airboy!
Just a caveat to those thinking of purchasing a $490 book- the amount knocked off the price is limited to $10.
Still, $10 is $10 man!
I just used the code to get this gem: Wings of the Luftwaffe: Flying the Captured German Aircraft of World War II by Eric Brown (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1902109155/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER)
Thanks.
I picked up a Hardback copy of Arthur Gould Lee's No Parachute. O0
Thanks for posting...now to rustle through my to-buy list...
...that didn't take long at all :/
Thanks Airboy!
I remember when Amazon was new. Their stock looked really attractive, based on the idea they could be bookstore to the world. I decided against buying stock as a long shot. Just because I like books doesnt mean the average person will send them money. That was probably the big investment failure in my life. I also wanted Apple when they were in the dumps, about the same time. Not that I would ever buy an Apple device, I would not. It just seemed under valued. Those 2 together could have left me sitting pretty. I least I would have had some capital to try to do a few things that are out of reach.
I do not think either stock is a good value now, I am not recommending a buy now.
Amazon is my favorite site and has been for about 15 years. Their customer service, prices and selection are second to none.

Amazon didn't start turning a profit for many years, from what I've read.
I've read that too.
Well hell, it expired December 1. :(
Well, if it makes you feel any better, the Eric Brown book I got is printed on pages of awesome.

It doesn't matter. When the stock goes from $15 to over $300 you want to be in early.
