Additional Free Copies -- Millard Salter's Last Day & The Man Who Wouldn't Stand Up

I now have additional complimentary paperback copies of my novels, Millard Salter's Last Day and The Man Who Wouldn't Stand Up, available for review. If you're interested, please email me directly at jacobmappel@gmail.com with your postal mailing address. The books will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Free copies of most of my titles are also available to public and university libraries; librarians should contact me directly.

As a reminder, complimentary PDFs / ebooks of many of my other books are also available for review on Goodreads -- please email me directly at jacobmappel@gmail.com for files

If you are a social media user and are willing to post my offer of complimentary ebooks on facebook, twitter or similar sites, I am always appreciative (and can often be induced to give you a free paperback book in return).
