Ebooks.com has some strange marketing.

"Hey, this ebook on your wishlist? It's on sale! Instead of €25,11, it's now €18,08!

Oh, and here's a coupon for 20% off of that.

I only clicked through accidentally, but the actual price was €8,25.

The coupon worked.

So, right around €6 for "Colossus: The Secrets of Bletchley Park's Codebreaking Computers" from Oxford University Press.

Yeah, I bought it. I've been looking for decent Bletchley books.

"That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day." -Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“Juan González and Joseph Torres have rendered a splendid public service with this highly readable and engrossing story of how the press sees—and doesn’t see—who we are as a people. Race and ethnicity, power and privilege, the visible and the invisible are at the core of our democratic crisis today, and it’s hard to imagine a better way to face the challenge than to be armed with the story this book tells so well.”

—Bill Moyers
