New ebook "in 1876: Bananas & Custer"

Dear reader

The eBook, "In1876: Bananas & Custer", an historical fact book (as if there were such things as facts), with some slight tongue in cheek. The book covers the year of 1876 around the world and is now available in the iTunes Bookstore as an eBook in the Apple format designed for the iPad.

It includes the art and music from 1876 incorporating widgets from Bookry dot com to link to the iTunes store.   You can find stories about Bizet's Carmen or Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, which then link to the iTunes store (from the iPad on which the book is being read) direct to the iTunes entry for that tune.  The reader can then play a sample to recreate the sound of 1876, and then buy the album or track.  There are 20 or so of these widgets in the book covering different iTunes items.  

You can see the website for the book at
