For $16, today's deal gets you two books, In the Garden and Happy Trails, plus shipping from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Bookstore (a $40.25 value).

Both books included in today's deal are composed of columns originally published in the newspaper and bound together in an easy-to-reference format. In the Garden by Janet Carson—of the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service—aids green thumbs and bumbling garden gnomes in their landscaping efforts, and features common questions and answers from newspaper readers. With Arkansas-specific tips and advice, this easy-to-follow gardening reference will ensure flora flourishes by providing planting pointers for every month of the year.

Happy Trails by Michael Storey huddles 52 hiking tales into one literary home. Storey's stories stem from excursions through Arkansas's own outdoor paths and pair well with page-accompanying maps, photos, and trail rankings. Groupon holders can go online to redeem today's deal, which includes the cost of tax (a $1.20 value for each book) and shipping (a $5.95 value).
