It looks like a few other books by Bryson are also on sale, including The Body: A Guide for Occupants (about the human body) and I'm a Stranger Here Myself (about America). At least, they are on sale on Kobo.
The Body is now a banned book in a lot of school districts and libraries controlled by GOP legislatures, I guess because it includes the reproductive system and that's bad? I have read that one and can recommend it as quite funny and informative.

Oh, oh, oh! I had this one back in the 90's in my own personal library of about 150 books. Lost it, tho. Glad to get it back in the digital form.
