"Time enough at last," but only up to a point

The clock is ticking, but there is still time to get in on Henry's lifetime store credit offer:

For every order received by June 30, 2015, I’ll give you buyer a credit of $72 a year until one of us dies: that’s the average annual book expenditure of Charlotte-area households (if that means a free book, I will ask you to be a good sport and cover the shipping; otherwise, the shipping is free).  

Longevity runs in my family; according to the ubble.co.uk website, I have a 96.3% expectation of surviving the next three years, and am 5 years younger than my calendar age. So there’s a $216 return, minimum. And as time goes on and Henry prospers, I’ll adjust that credit upward. You’ll also be listed, if you wish, as a Founding Supporter of Henry Bemis Books. As they used to say on Japan’s Iron Chef, you’ll earn “the people’s ovation and fame forever.”

Just email us a book order by midnight, June 30, 2015, and your account will be opened. Click on the Related Articles link, below, and see the other cool deals you can get in on.
