    This is directly from Amazon, so I don't think there is any ripoff involved. Amazon offers free Kindle books every day and also many for .99. You can sign up for the Amazon Daily Deals email through an Amazon account. One just has to sift through the romance novels to find the few jewels.

    Amazon responded to my rant with an option... might be too late though

    but it seems the Publisher is the one who decides which Country to sell to.

    Now I need to turn my rant onto the publisher!

    Already up to$31.

    I reckon if it was raining banana splits, I'd be stuck out in it with a rubber fork...
    "The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized."

    You are in Canada and are not allowed to download free books. I have run into this before.
    Go now and pour yourself a hot one...

    A word about the free Kindel books.

    They have been stripped of all graphics.

    Photos, Charts, Tables, Graphs. Anything that is not text will be missing.

    I am sure there are exceptions to this but I have not found one in 30+ free downloads.

    Google books has several gunsmith listings. http://books.google.com/
    Many are partial previews (if the title is still available) but they also have full scans of a couple of million out of copyright and public domain titles.

    I work in the Michigan State University library. Google is in the middle of a deal with us to scan a lot of agriculture material. Between us and Purdue - Google will have most of the early farming works published.
