What should I buy to get free shipping for RP's new book?

[rp4prez]

I REALLY want to buy RP's new book but I refuse to pay the expensive shipping rates on Amazon!! :mad:

Therefore, I need some ideas as to what to buy with the book in order to get the free shipping. My order has to be $25 to qualify.

Couple of things before you suggest stuff please. I'm only buying one copy of his book. I'm also not going to buy any other books because I usually get my books at a half price book store in town.

Thanks!

Pay for Amazon Prime or do the free trial. It's an awesome program since I buy a ton of things from Amazon. You pay a flat fee, I think about $79 annually(?) and will get many items from Amazon with 2-day shipping without extra cost and $4 per item if you want it overnighted.

Ha,,,I just had to make the same decision. I got a new pair of cheap earbuds for my work mp3 player, that pushed me over the $25 mark by 5 dollars.

Ok, these are $25 on their own but a good natural energy boost for those long sign waves... http://www.amazon.com/LaraBar-Jocalat-Chocolate-1-7-Ounce-Bars/dp/B000JZYM8C/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1209621730&sr=8-2

Ain't My America : The Long, Noble History of Antiwar Conservatism and Middle-American Anti-Imperialism by Bill Kauffman

I have that, haven't dove into it yet. But Ron Paul has a testimonial on the back, so that's cool. Plus, the author seems to be an Mises libertarian/Old Right conservative after reading the preface..

Ain't My America : The Long, Noble History of Antiwar Conservatism and Middle-American Anti-Imperialism by Bill Kauffman

I'm putting that on my wishlist.

[Razmear]

My direct deposit just hit and I got my copy on the way. :D

I couldn't justify buying $14 of more stuff just to save $3.99.
I was thinking about buying the Audio Book too, which would qualify, but I'd want to hear a sample first.

Hey! Watch out, you might be a terrorist (http://www.chrisbrunner.com/2007/05/09/libertarians-are-terrorists-says-the-state-of-alabama/)!

(The Alabama Department of Homeland Security page about identifying domestic terrorists had a large Gadsden Flag at the top as an example of what to look for.)

And I agree about the audio version. The publisher should have asked Dr. Paul to read it.

Also, Blow Back by Chalmers Johnson (or his other books; nemesis, sorrow of empire), Napolitano's books, Robert Pape (haven't read it yet, but Paul references it), Naomi Wolf's End of America (even though she endorsed Obama, her book is worth the read; I guess she didn't fully get it :( ), Ayn Rand...

EDIT: Oh yeah, I just finished reading Goldwater's "Conscience of a Conservative" Pretty good, short read.

[Truth Warrior]

Bottom line, a $25 order, triggers the free shipping option choice, at check out. :) Takes some more time to deliver, sometimes, but saves money on shipping. Kinda tough to beat 0, unless Amazon pays you. :D

[brandon]

Sometimes reading fiction can be fun too!

There is a new collection of stories by Kurt Vonnegut that just got released. You might want to pick that up. Also, this guy Augusten Burroughs just released a new book. His other books were really good, so I bet this one will be too.

[LittleLightShining]

I put one in my cart and then fell into the same dilemma. I just got my tax return and was planning to buy freeze-dried vegetables, so I thought maybe I should see what Amazon had. No great deals. Then I thought, "Hey! I garden!" So I started looking at dehydrators and ended up picking out a 9-tray Excalibur. I am so excited to get this. But then THAT didn't qualify so I threw in one more book to give away. For some reason I still needed to spend $2 more so I decided to replace my temperamental 20 yo coffee grinder.

So I went a little overboard spending money, but I guess I've done my patriotic duty and helped the economy :rolleyes:

1984 by George Orwell
The Art of War by Sun Tzu
The Creature From Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve by G. Edward Griffin

Im not sure why so many peopleare buying The Republic and Niomachean Ethics by Plato and Aristotle--they probably arent what you're expecting.

hmmm, well Plato's - Republic is a classic imo. I read it for that reason, this is way before i woke up.. it sent me in the right direction, i had no clear understanding of my political philosophy i just new the current world was shit, and there HAD to be a better way. It was great, and i will have to re-read it.

Arisotles ethics, turned me on the cause and search for truth. Kind of like an ultimate goal, touches on happiness etc. bleh, i really need to re-read that aswell..

I think i like them most, cus they were the first things that shook me up..

You know when you get a new idea, or something "clicks" - there is actually a process, a different brain wave materializes. There is a spark, and it jumps between synapses. Anyway, I had a lot of those in that book. Alot of "of course!!".

If you've never heard of Leatherman multi-tools, you're in for a real treat. They make a multi-tool that is about 2 inches long and fits on a keychain:

http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-80040003K-Squirt-Glacier-Multitool/dp/B0007UQ1CY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1209707519&sr=8-3

They make a version that has scissors instead of pliers, and once you put this on your keychain, you'll wonder how you got through life without one of these.

Swiss Army Knives (by Victorinox) are also good, but for the 2 inch form factor, the Leatherman offers a lot more in the small package.

Leatherman also makes a cheaper, more rugged scissors version:
