VanderSale!!! VanderBooks!!! VanderGetSome!!!

Okay, if you're a writer or someone who works in publishing or bookselling, you know what I'm talking about here. You have books. You have A LOT of books. And you can't help adopting more books. You bring books home from work. You get books from friends. You get books from fellow writers. You trade books with folks from other publishing houses. You get to work early so you can dig through the new arrivals on the take shelf. You troll used bookstores for that nearly unobtainable copy of The Stonor Eagles in hardcover so your William Horwood collection can be complete. You sometimes have two or three copies of the SAME book (you know, the one you read so many times in paperback that it fell apart, so you bought another one, but kept the first one because, dammit, you READ that one, and then you bought the hardcover, too). You. Have. Books.

Well, Jeff and Ann VanderMeer have books, too. Way too many books. And they have decided it is now time to release some of those books into the wild by having a fabulous one- of- a-kind VanderSale. (They have some amazing stuff here, and you should go buy some books now so that they can have counter space for their coffee machine again.)

Go to the VanderSale now!


La Gringa is now fearful. Yes, oh so fearful, because, you see, today?

Today is payday.

"counter space for their coffee machine again."

I blame the sleep deprivation but I originally read this as "space for their coffe-table machine gun." And I thought, well, sure, Jeff would have one of those.

You're horrible. I found 4 books in 2 minutes.
