American Gods: You get a lifelong 30% discount, as well as two massive shopping sprees that you can give as gifts, plus Animal Farm stuff, PLUS you can cut to the front of the line any time you visit our store.

Infinite Jest: Let's be honest: if you're dropping 10 grand on a start-up bookstore, you can afford more books than I can offer you. So in addition to the other rewards, we will do everything in our power to partner with and promote you or your business with ad space in-store and on our website. Our backer-only preview party is in your honor. If you're a writer, you're welcome to write book reviews for our site. Also, I will personally help you move once (if you live in Chicago).
