It's Cyber Monday and Henry Bemis Books is dusting off the last great omnibus catalog (we're breaking it up into a new, more manageable series of smaller, topical ones): hundreds of books on dozens of topics!
Yes, design-wise, it's a complete dog's breakfast. As Dr Johnson told the lady who asked how he could have done such a thing, I admit, "Ignorance, madam, pure ignorance."
But here's the reward for plowing through. You get to name your price.
Yeppers- make us an offer on any book. Unless it just shocks the conscience ("Another insult," Poo-bah sniffed at a bribe in The Mikado, "and by the feel of it, a light one") we'd rather see books going out the door than staying on the shelves.
There's a practical reason, too. For some reason, autumn is Henry's dead season. No one buys. Same thing happened last year: we got to the end of November with the cupboard empty and the bank account bare. This had- and presents the prospect of having- the effect of interfering with eating. There's a point after which drilling new belt holes stops being bragging material.
So make us an offer, and help keep Henry alive into 2018!
