Didn't really know where to put this thread, Jamo please move if it doesn't belong here:

If you haven't read Burt Levy's novel of '50s road racing, now's your chance to do it for under a buck. Got this email of an eBook offer:


BIG NEWS! BURT IS GIVING SOMETHING AWAY!!!! Almost...
See, here's the deal. In a desperate, even semi-pathetic post-mid-life-crisis effort to find new, young, hopefully hot & succulent and hooked-into-the-internet readers, Burt and his self-run, peanut-stand publishing company THINK FAST INK, will be embarking on a ONE WEEK ONLY, JUNE 19-26 e-book web promotion in conjunction with BOOKBUB, AMAZON.COM and BARNES & NOBLE NOOK. The bottom line is that for those seven days, e-book copies of Burt's seminal, cult-classic novel THE LAST OPEN ROAD will be on sale for LESS THAN A BUCK!!!
OK, it's not much less than a buck (99 cents U$D, in fact) but it's a hell of a deal for those without big rigs, pneumatic, fake-bosomy girlfriends and a secure future (wonder what one of those looks like?). Also a particularly good deal for our fans overseas, where the effing freight is half again (or more) as much as the damn books.

I think Burt is using the old drug dealer trick of "The first one's free." Through his series of books he follows sports car racing through the '50s, '60s and his latest book, "The 200 MPH Steamroller" follows the GT40s at LeMans. Part of the fun is his not-so-thinly disguised racing characters.
