This time it’s different.
For the first five days of May we are doing something different:giving away the e-book of one of our newly published and currently bestselling books. Why? Because we know you’ll like it.You Were Never in Chicago by Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg is a nuanced portrait of Chicago and a frequently hilarious memoir of a reporter writing his way through the sinew and soul of a city. Roger Ebert said it’s “a poetic mosaic of his life and the life of Chicago—past, present, real, imagined.”
So why give it away? Because if you experience Steinberg’s distinctive, wry, and unpretentious writing we think you will want this book as a gift for yourself or someone who loves Chicago. Or who loves any city of the broad-shouldered kind. It’s availablefrom our website at 20% off in a lovely clothbound edition, and from booksellers and online retailers everywhere. Get the e-book You Were Never in Chicago free for the next five days—from May Day to Cinco de Mayo. Judge for yourself and we think you’ll agree: it’s the real deal.
