Unabridged ARC Giveaway

unabridged.jpgI fear bringing on more competition for myself, but I must bring some attention to the fact that Unabridged Bookstore in Lakeview is giving away free Advance Review Copies of as-yet unpublished books with the purchase of one book on Saturday. Free copies of new titles? You can bet I'll be there in the morning, waiting to take first pick. Unabridged is already one of my most favorite bookstores in the city, so I need little incentive to visit them, but perhaps you'll be tempted to check them out, too. You can find them at 3251 N. Broadway; the store opens at 10am.
