Does anyone have a list of the books that are in the 'Try me for 99p' offer at Waterstones?

I wuz drunk and mistooked them for those 60p sampler things.

I've got a mate down the pub who works at Waterstones, I keep hassling him for a job.

Hassle him for a list while you're at it.

Damn Waterstones, if they had a proper website instead of letting Amazon do all the work, that list would be on the front page.

Ones I can remember off the top of my head:

"Devil in a Blue Dress" - W Mosely
"The Roaches Have No King" - D E Weiss
"Anagrams" - L Moore
"The Flood" - D Maine

There are lots of others obv. This seems like a good thing to me, but I may have missed the sinister effects.

Are they extracts, or the whole thing? If they are the whole thing, are they especially short things?

they are the whole thing - there are 4 or 5 fabers and a few cannongates. One of the fabers was "Our Fathers" by Andrew O'Hagan which i was going to buy until I realised i only had a pound in change for my bus fare :/

they are not especially short either: all are 200-300pages or more.

Oooh!
