Two weeks to State of Fear Day
The most anticipated thriller of the season is being kept under wraps. No publicity (yet). No cover art or description made available to the media or to the publishing/bookselling world.
What's so special about Michael Crichton's "State of Fear?" Given that most of his more recent stories have involved non-human creatures and that all of his stories, more or less, involve science gone berserk, can we count on more of the same?
In fifteen days, "State of Fear" releases. The on-sale date is Dec. 7 - a Tuesday.
Here at the store, we're going all out to make that day special for our patrons. We've placed a GIANT order for the book so that you can get this book from us at the absolute lowest cost anywhere. Yes, we're trying to lose money on this one.
We'll have a special surprise visitor from the publishing world coming in that evening, but the real excitement revolves around the value pricing we've arranged for what is, I think, the last major release of the pre-Christmas season.
We'll discount the book itself with a fair sale price of $23.95. But for existing and new Patron Passport members who buy the book on "State of Fear Day" or who place paid orders between now and that date, we'll hand you a $10 BookSense Gift Card. You won't find this hot book at a better price anywhere. The Gift Card is good at hundreds of independent bookstores across the country and can be used for any purchase here on your next visit, just like cash.
And for the first nine Patron Passport members who ask, we'll make that a copy personally autographed by Mr. Crichton himself. We're saving the tenth autographed copy to give away in a promotion we'll announce here later tonight.
NEWS: Tony Hillerman's "Skeleton Man" and Jimmy Carter's "Sharing Good Times" are in stock and go on sale tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 23. These would make great gifts, but we have only a limited number. Call or write to reserve your copy now.
