Two Free Books and Three Free Songs

Update: 6/15/11 Ten Moments That Shook The Sports World is now free in the US Kindle store.

First, the nook only title from this morning, The Last Boy, is now free from both Amazon and Apple, both the same a/v enhanced titles that B&N will only let you see on the nookColor (Apple limits you to the iPad or iThing; Amazon's works on any Kindle device or app).

Second, Ten Moments That Shook The Sports World ($5.39 US), by Stan Isaacs, is free for UK and EU customers in the Kindle store. I expect the US to follow by tomorrow morning. (UK link/DE link)

Book Description
"The Shot Heard Round the World," in 1951. "The Fight of the Century," in 1971. The horror of the 1972 Munich Olympics. Secretariat's legendary win at the 1973 Belmont Stakes. Stan Isaacs saw them all live. Isaacs covered thousands of sports stories in his more than fifty years as a journalist. But ten moments stand out in his memory. Ten Moments That Shook the Sports World offers Isaacs's eyewitness accounts of the events that changed sports history. This collection offers those old enough to remember these events a chance to relive them, and younger sports lovers will get to hear this history from someone who was there. Isaacs makes sports history live again.

Last, but not least, zip over to the iTunes store to check out this week's free songs, which includes Forward to Love ($0.99 Amazon), by Ziggy Marley. This is a cut off of his newly released album, Wild And Free. Click HERE to get it free in iTunes.

Back in the Amazon store, Barry Manilow has a new album and a cut from it, Now It's For Real, is free to download, as is Coney Island Winter, by Garland Jeffreys. That's three songs and three completely different genres, so there should be at least one of interest in the bunch.
