Remember Karen Ellis, who drew this great book club on The Rediscovery of Man for us? Well her building caught on fire. Most of her stuff was destroyed and her upstairs neighbor was killed. If you enjoyed her work you can help by donating a few dollars at her site ("make a donation" button on the right).

Gene and I have about six really great ideas for new merchandise, but Jana has exercised her constitutional veto power. Our garage is full, she says, and until we get rid of some of the stuff we have we're not allowed to add anything new.

So we're having a little Spring Cleaning Sale. While supplies last you'll get one Choose Books free for every two shirts you buy. This applies to any shirts, so among other things this is a great way to get a lot of Choose Books shirts really cheaply. Again, this is while supplies last, so act now to ensure you get your desired size.

Now let's talk about books. We have six of them. Back when we introduced our third book, Library Mascot Cage Match we whipped up a special deal: three books for $40. When our fourth book came out that deal became four for $50, and so on. The deal keeps getting better -- today you can buy any six books for $70 -- but we recognize that six books is really quite a large commitment. So we're going to keep that great deal AND reinstate the original any three books for $40 bundle as well. It's a great way to start your Unshelved library today, especially when you consider that you'll also get free shipping (U.S. only)!
