48 for 48

Update #5 · Sep 9, 2011 · comment

Folks, we need $165 to break $1,000. I've decided that anybody who donates $48 or more in the next 48 hours gets free copies of every book we publish for the next five years (the $100 reward level).

(The next 48 hours = until 7 pm Central/8 pm Eastern on Sunday.)
