Consumption by Kevin Patterson. It was a freebie from the Random House Fall preview I attended in August. Still expecting two more. The Random House reps were fawning over it heavily. Their enthusiasm convinced me to give it a chance. There's a lot of buzz around this book. Not sure of the availability in other countries.

Ancient Egypt by Lorna Oakes & Lucia Gaulin
Hans Christian Anderson's Fairy Tales
Anyone You Want Me To Be by John Douglas
The Mysterious Private Thompson by Laura Gansler
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

Borders was having a buy 4 books and get one free sale today. I couldn't use my 25% coupon on the Egypt book, but the cashier said that he would take 10% off.
 
30% and 10% iRewards?

Actually you get the 10% off the 30% discounted price. So it's not quite 40%.

Well, my reciept says that I got both the 30% and the 10% iRewards off the sticker price. And I know what the cost was before taxes when I got their magazine in the mail the other day. It also told me how much I saved when I purchased the book: $13.20 off the $32.99 sticker price.

$13.20 would be 40%. Which is odd because usually they take 30% and then the iRewards 10% which would end up at about $20 instead of the $19 and change. I work there and I've had to explain to customers many times how it's not a true 40%. Maybe, hopefully, they're doing it the way they should now.
