Credit where credit is due: much of this is based of a spiel from Bigbossman to grad students attracted by the promise of free food and cheap books. By the way, locusts descending on a ripe field have nothing on a bunch of grad students who have heard that there are $3 books. Also, a lot of it I may have discussed already; however, there were a few new things, and some points of discussion worth, well, discussing.

Books! Books! Books!
CUA Press is having a book sale! Those of you who are in the DC area and have any interest at all in anything liberal arts will probably want to come to this. None of us are exactly sure what we’ll be selling, but seeing as every press collects a certain number of random books between remaindering, publicity copies that never get sent, and just general who-knows-how, we’ll have something interesting.
Best part: nothing’s over $10, most things are $2 or $3. Even that critical edition of Scotus.
The intern wants it gone. The philosopher wants to bring a truck and buy half of it. I’m not sure these are competing desires.
The Semi-Official Flyer, for those who might want to attend. It’s this Thursday, 29 March, from noon to 3:30 or so. No, we won’t let you come early and horde books. Yes, this is a problem when you combine grad students and cheap books. I may have to be a Burly Goon and repurpose that Scotus volume . . .
Shameless Press Plug!
I mentioned last time that our press had some really good covers, but hadn’t put them online yet. Well, that’s changed. Feast your eyes on these beauties!
