I love books as gifts, and I love witty essays on McSweeney's. It's more than books too: T-shirts, arty notecards, peculiar/arty DVDs. They have the CD from Nick Hornby's "Songbook" for $2. Most of the stuff is half-off, but the sale on lasts through today, 11/21.
Give random, cheap lit to your friends and family this "holiday season"!
From the email:
