Last week I got an email from the University Press of Mississippi (UPM) with a caution not to share their bargain information until August 7. That’s today – a great day to get a head start on your Christmas presents – especially for teachers and lovers of children’s literature or a treat for yourself! I have copied the pertinent parts.
Starting August 7, we’ll be offering a 40% website discount on all books, including yours.
Every book on the site will be 40% off, AND you’ll receive free shipping in the continental United States with NO minimum purchase! This sale will run from August 7 through August 17.
On August 7, feel free to post, Tweet, and share the book’s landing page at https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/B/Becoming-Ezra-Jack-Keats. (Please do not share before August 7!) If any friend or follower has difficulty ordering, we’ve made them a video to make ordering easy. You can share this at https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Ordering/Ordering-Video
Ordering from UPM is really easy. I doubt that you will even need the tutorial. If you click on the book’s landing page, there will be an orange rectangle with “HARDCOVER $25.00” inside. If you click on that rectangle, it will take you automatically to the discounted price. Following the instructions from that point is pretty self-explanatory. If anything gives you trouble, you can go to the video which gives instructions step by step.
While you are on the site, you might want to check about other books to add to your stash while this good sale with free shipping lasts. My own bookshelves have carried good books with the UPM logo long before I published my book with them. Just remember, you only have ten days.
