Greetings dear friends -- and those of you who have just discovered Now Rise Books!
I am writing to say, "Thank you," to everyone who visited our storefront and purchased books from Now Rise in 2011. Your confidence and loyalty means so much. You have made this venture rewarding for me by sustaining Now Rise as a resource for readers and writers who value great books by and about the experience of people of African descent. I look forward to finding wonderful titles to offer this year and blogging about good books and interesting issues.
After completing inventory at the end of 2011, I am starting 2012 by announcing a sale on many of my regular stock. I hope the sale prices will encourage you to buy more books and to buy multiple books at one time--so that more of you will take advantage of our reduced shipping on multiple books in one order. I also hope the sale prices will motivate you to buy sooner than you might otherwise. I have an unsuspecting selfish motive: a successful sale will free up space in my very tiny storage unit so that I can bring into inventory more books that are recently purchased or that will be purchased in buying trips planned in the near future.
Over the next six weeks--beginning with this list at the Dr. King holiday through Black History Month--I will update this blog with books recently acquired--many at sale prices 15% less than what they would regularly be priced. So buy soon and keep checking Now Rise for newly added selections. Sign in on the mailing list of this blog to get notices of new titles added. Please tell your friends and colleagues about us and, you know, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter!
Warm regards to you all,
Lisa Monroe
