And, just because the movie opens on Friday, consider getting F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby ($4.99), it’s a great book at a very attractive used paperback price.

Or, Get the AudioBook Version

The movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, opens May 10.

The Great Gatsby is also available on iTunes as an audiobook ($5.95).

Lastly, if you haven’t yet taken advantage of Audible.com’s free 30-day trial, get The Great Gatsby or any other popular audiobook (single unit) for free — cancel any time and keep the book.
