Some of the eligible books are already on sale and their savings stack with the B1G1 50% Off deal, such as The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Jurassic Park / The Lost World Collection. Both regularly cost $40, but this current sale will drop one of them to just $20--letting you snag both books for just $60 (was $80). These are particularly enticing picks since the The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy includes all five novels in the series, and the Jurassic Park / The Lost World Collection includes both landmark books by Michael Chrichton.

If you're a movie buff, other great options include The Godfather, The Adventures of Indiana Jones, and The Star Wars Trilogy. These novels give you a new way to enjoy these classic films, though the ones for Star Wars and Indiana Jones might be the most compelling. Each one includes three novels based on the movies--A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi for Star Wars, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade for Indiana Jones. We're also big fans of the cover designs for these two collections.
