For You Book Lovers - 50% Off Titles!

Are you looking for books for the holidays? Do you want to get them for half price? Look no further than Boyds Mills Press. From now until the end of the year you can buy any book in stock and receive a whopping 50% off. Shipping is $10, whether you buy one book, one hundred, or more.

The great thing about this deal is that 20% of each book order will go to the Highlights for their 2009 scholarship fund. This means that when you buy a book you will be helping deserving writers go to Chautauqua or attend one of their other workshops.

Here's where you'll find the Fall 08 and Complete Backlist catalogs. The order form can be found here as well. Once you've made your choices you can fax or email the order form, or simply call (877) 512-8366.
