It's called <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/?a_aid=roxanasbooks">the Book Depository.</a> It's kind of nice. </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> They'll have this <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/50booksoffer/?a_aid=roxanasbooks">interesting promotion starting Thursday, November 7</a> at 7:00 AM EST (12:00 PM GMT, aka 2:00 PM Romania time). </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> Every half hour, they'll offer some book on super-promotion. Apparently they sell out really fast, so it's best if you show up there in the first 20 seconds. Or so. Erm. Yeah, it's a click-fest. Anyways, they'll offer a total of 50 titles, spread over 25 hours. </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> Seems fun and potentially dangerous, if you like books. Which I do. Damn. </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> Anyways, they've done this before -- last time they had discounts for 100 books, one offered each 15 minutes. It turns out that last time they gave Salman Rushdie's <em>Luka and the Fire of Life</em> at a 100% discount. Which means free, shipping and all. They also had Camus, Jane Austen and Orwell on sale. Big names. And also some smaller names I've never heard of. </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> I loved a comment somebody made, that they'd bought Mary Shelley's <em>Frankenstein -- </em>which wasn't signed, alas 🙁 </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> I have to agree: it would be awesome to have a freshly printed signed copy of <em>Frankenstein</em>, if only because Mary Shelley died in 1851. </p>
