The Thrifty Guides to History is a five-book series by Jonathan W. Stokes, published between 2018 and 2019. Framed as handbooks for time travelers, the books cover different historical periods: the American Revolution, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and Medieval Times. The humorous concept of budget-friendly time travel tips gives the series a lighthearted approach to history.
Most of the series came out in 2018, with four of the five entries published that year. The Thrifty Guide to Medieval Times followed in 2019 to close out the run. Since each book focuses on a different era, they can likely be read in any order, though starting with The Thrifty Guide to the American Revolution and going from there works well enough.
