The second Amazon book offer of the season is live! Take $5 off any printed book(s) purchase of $20 or more on Amazon

The second Amazon book offer for 2018 is now LIVE! Take $5.00 off any printed book(s) purchase of $20.00 or more on Amazon.com when you enter the promo code GIFTBOOK18 at checkout.

Details and restrictions are here. 

• Excludes eBooks and Audiobooks, book rentals and gift cards.
• The promotion is valid for a limited time, on orders placed between 12/7/18 and 12/21/18.  
• Offer only applies to books sold and shipped by Amazon.com.
• Limit one promotional code per customer and account.
• Items must be purchased in a single order and shipped at the same speed to a single address.

Lots of ways to go on this one.  Unlike past years, where the offer was a percentage off on one book only, this year, you may buy multiple books, as long as they add up to $20 or more and you use the promo code, you'll get a $5 total discount on your purchase.

As in previous years, here is my evergreen list of suggestions, with a few new additions.  Since you can purchase more than one book, I'll include books under $20.00.
