Advance Readers' Copies

Aargh, we're being inundated with them. These are the pre-publication paperback editions, not for resale, that publishers send around in the hope that bookstore staffers will read them and hand-sell them to a grateful public once the finished books come out. But how can we read a dozen books a day? Our back office is filled with these proto-books.

If you or someone you know works in a library, hospice, non-profit, or some other worthy organization that might have a use for these books, please come take them off our hands, one or two boxes at a time. We will love you for it.

i make trips to the local battered womens shelter twice a month, and i have taken books and magazine to them, the women love them and that's always the first question that they ask is if i have any in that load. they all share them, and some of them are so used, they you can hardly tell what the book was, lol. if you have any of the advanced reader copies, they'd love to have them. i'd be glad to deliver them to them just to see some happiness in their face in an otherwise glumy time in their lives.
