Here's a list of titles I found today selling for $5 or less--as well as three more that I thought were worth highlighting, even though they edge up to the six dollar mark.

Due to my own limitations, the list leans heavily toward sci fi, humor, and horror titles, but that doesn't mean you can't find similar great deals in other genres.

12.08.08Book bargain! “Why Don’t Penguins’ Feet Freeze?”Here's a great book for pretty much any reader who's ever asked himself some random question about the world. Examples: Why do we have eyebrows? Why do some people sneeze in bright light? Why don't sleeping birds fall out of trees? Amazon is selling it for only $4.43 via the Kindle Store. After the book "Does Anything Eat Wasps?" became a bestseller in 2006, New Scientist collected the best questions from two earlier volumes that had only found modest audiences, then added some new ones. From the Publishers Weekly description on the Amazon product page: "This compilation of readers' questions and ...
