BookPerk is a subsidiary of HarperCollins and most of the book offered are published by them or one of their subsidiaries. The offers generally consist of a book or several books in conjunction with another item - original artwork relating to the book offered, a bath pampering set with a book about beauty, etc. You sign up, for free, join the mailing list and whenever they have a new offer, you receive an email with the details and a link. Each offer is available for a limited time and a minimum number of buyers have to sign up or the offer is canceled.You can look at previous deals here.
