Publishers Weekly is reporting a new Penguin’s new campaign to directly sell its titles to customers. According to the article you can buy all their titles at 25% off from their website until Labor Day. But the Penguin site doesn’t reflect this sale yet, that I can find.
I wonder how booksellers feel about being under cut by their supplier?

Friends of Homewood Library are having a huge used booksale (pdf) this weekend. They say 8,000 books are on hand and have never been in the store before. Word on the street is that prices will start at a quarter.

Festivities start Friday night, August 18th. The doors are also open Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Thanks CC for the tip.
