Been sitting on the fence waiting to buy a copy of COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO, or Jess Nevins’ THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FANTASTIC VICTORIANA? Well, wait no longer. COVER STORY has been graced with not only 2007 Locus and Hugo Award nominations, but it’s also in large part why I’ve been nominated for The 2007 British Fantasy Award and the 2007 International Horror Guild Award. And it just got a lot easier to own it or give one as a gift. The folks at MonkeyBrain Books have an insane sale going on right now. Pull out your checkbook and thank me later — you’ll kick yourself if you miss this. Here’s why, courtesy of Chris Roberson:

“For the month of September, MonkeyBrain Books is offering a special 2-for-1 sale. Buy any book direct from us through www.monkeybrainbooks.com at the regular price, and receive another book of equal or lesser value free of charge.

To pay online with PayPal, just select the book you which to purchase at regular price from our website, and when you reach the “Review Your Payment” step of the PayPal order process, select “Add special instructions to seller” and type in the title of the book you’d like as your free gift. If you’d like two copies of the same book, purchasing one at full price and getting the second for free, that’s fine with us, too.

If either book you’d like isn’t yet shipping, we’ll ship the portion of your order that is currently available, and send the remainder in a separate order when the books are printed.

As if a free MonkeyBrain title weren’t enough, we’re also tossing in free Shipping & Handling for the second title, as well. You’re losing money if you *don’t* take this offer. Supplies on some titles are running low, so don’t delay.” What’s not to love? Take advantage of these crazy people before they come to their senses. 🙂
