Those of you who have kindles and/or who are bikers may find this of interest: The E-readers News Today has a promotion where they give out four free kindle books every day, and one of the books for today is called "88 pianos: A recumbent adventure across America".

88 Pianos

Apparently it describes the author's quest to "find and play 88 pianos while riding a recumbent bicycle across America."

I haven't read it (yet; I downloaded it) so can't vouch for it, but the description says it is "hilarious" and you can't beat the price. wink

I started reading the book, and it's a typical self-published kindle book, meaning full of enthusiasm and typos/grammatical errors. smile However, I promised not to complain given the price. So far it is more about biking than pianos, but that may change.

Thanks for this link Monica - I missed getting the 88Pianos book for free but have bookmarked the link and will check it out regularly.

As you said, you can't beat the price, and if the books are duds, well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
