The University Press of Kentucky is offering quite a few books, including Civil War books, on their site. Books are grouped into 20% off!, 30% off!, 50% off! and 80% off! categories.
I ended up picking up the following:
- The Civil War in Kentucky
- Lovecraft (I know, not a Civil war book, but I’m a fan of Lovecraft’s work!)
- Brigadier General John D. Imboden
- For Honor, Glory, and Union
- Uncle Sam’s War of 1898 and the Origins of Globalization
- Confederate General R.S. Ewell
- Prologue to Conflict
Here’s a list of the preceding and other books I found focusing specifically on the Civil war and related topics (this is a LONG list!):
