The Poems of Walt Whitman:Vook Classics, by Walt Whitman, $0.00

"...His influential, groundbreaking style, although considered controversial when first published in the mid-1800s, is now revered as influencing modern poetry and the free-verse approach.  This collection brings together some of his most powerful and memorable work, including his collections "Drum Taps" and "Chants Democratic." --from Product Description

I'm highlighting this, because Vook has announced they're not going to continue publishing e-books.  Teleread.com received an email from them saying:

' "...… we’re ceasing to publish content and moving instead to extend our digital publishing platform, VookMaker, as far and wide as possible.  It’s a one-stop cloud based tool that lets you create great looking digital books, distribute them to the marketplaces and track their sales." '

That doesn't mean what they've done so far won't be available but I wanted to call attention to it.

You can see by clicking here which Vook books are free at any time.  Remember that the "Enhanced" ones are playable only on Apple apps and that any video/audio from Enhanced books will not be downloaded to the Kindle.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit: Vook Classics
Offered by Vook
Genre: Fiction Classic

DESCRIPTION: The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a children's book written by Beatrix Potter that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he is chased about the garden of Mr. McGregor. He escapes and returns home to his mother who puts him to bed after dosing him with camomile tea. The tale was written for five-year-old Noel Moore, son of Potter's former governess Annie Carter Moore, in 1893. It was revised and privately printed by Potter in 1901 after several publishers' rejections but was printed in a trade edition by Frederick Warne & Co. in 1902. The book was a success, and multiple reprints were issued in the years immediately following its debut. It has been translated into 36 languages and with 45 million copies sold it is one of the best-selling books of all time. This Vook version is enhanced with the illustrations by Virginia Albert which was originally published in 1916.
