    I’m not sure if there are any gems here as I just saw my email and am heading out the door, but today’s Amazon Kindle “daily deal” is also the “gold box deal” featuring hundreds of what they deem “educational books” — if anyone finds any great deals maybe post it here so we can find the diamonds in the rough….

    Well, I just quickly perused the “literature” listings, and there are only 5 or 6 books there. Oh, and by the way, none of them are actual works of literature. The closest is a Sherlock Holmes handbook that discusses his cases and various trivia concerning Holmes. The others are books about writing, and one is a book of Italian grammar drills.

    Hopefully, someone will discover a gem or two in other categories, but I don’t think I have the time to do much looking today.

    I just did a quick scan through, and jotted down a couple that might be of interest to others.

    All the Cherry Ames nurse novels.

    A book called The College Application Essay.

    Lonely Planet guide to U.S. National Parks.

    Women, Work and Auto-Immune Disease

    Figuring It Out: Entertaining Encounters with Everyday Math

    Otherwise, lots of law and medical/nursing textbooks. A few gardening books (Free-Range Chicken Gardens is a good one). Astronomy and space travel books. A few historical books…one called My Dear President, about letters between wives and their president husbands. Several on auto engine building. And LOTS of computer programming guides.

    I haven’t had a chance to go through more, but I did find some of the Grammar Girl books there. Although I’m not sure if those are actual sale prices on those.  I’ve never actually seen any of her books firsthand before, but I do like her conversational style of writing on this topic.

    Also, William Zinsser’s On Writing Well is there too:
