Still, I don't boycott the day completely (thank you Internet). Up early this morning, not for the excitement of shopping, but because three cats were hungry and couldn't wait one more minute for their morning routine.
Anyway, up early, I get online and, of course, check out Barnes and Noble's Website. They've put their signed editions front and center (something I had to go looking for a week or two ago), and their Leather-bound Classics are now on sale for the usual Buy One Get One 50% off (or, buy 3 get one free by couponer's logic).
They're also featuring the newer (green covered) Jungle Book that I mentioned in an earlier post.
The Winter Queen and Other Stories seems to be the title they're pushing the most, but I'm eyeing A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine L'engle), To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee), as well as the very pretty Moby Dick (who knows, maybe I can actually get through the first three chapters this time).
The sale is a brief one, lasting from Nov. 26th (2015) to the wee hours of the morning on Nov. 30th (for online shopping) or close of day on Nov. 29th (for in-store purchases).
*Also of note, the Website has bumped their prices up to match those of the retail stores (usually the Website lists the titles at a 20% discount to those found in the stores).
B&N is also showcasing their "gift editions" - some at a favorable discount this weekend, in particular:
This is a leather-cloth bound (softcover) set of Martin's Game of Thrones series. The books are small (6"x9"), but this weekend are 50% off the original $75 price tag. (AND, if you use the coupon code 30BFRIDAY, you'll get another $11 off - not bad).
