Writers/Publishers Discount

Here's a book bargain for you professional writers and publishers. Whether your style be fiction or non, poetry or essay, chances are you do a fair amount of reseach. Google's great, but a book in the hand allows you time to read, ponder, analyze, synthesize and generally play with chunks of information to determine whether it suits your writing project.

In addition, some of us have an almost visceral obsession about owning our research books. First, I may want to do some additional fact checking later on, and secondly, we can't very well highlight and makes notes on the library copies, can we? Still, the cost of buying those research books can be daunting.

Happily, Border's offers a corporate discount rate: 20% off the price of books, 10% off periodicals. You simply fill out a short form (available at the stores), mail it in and wait for the membership card to arrive in the mail. Yes, sole proprietorships qualify.

(You say the books would probably be cheaper on Amazon to begin with? That's often true. But what's also true is that I usually don't want to wait. When I want a research book, I want it now!)

A hefty discount and instant book gratification - what a lovely combination!

Happy writing ~
