Our officemates at McSweeney’s have worked their butts off to produce a full-color broadsheet newspaper replete with magazine, book section, and comics and it finally hits the streets today (Tuesday, 12/8)! You can get your copy at ground central (849 Valencia Street between 19th and 20th) and congratulate them on a job well done. Plus it’s on sale for $5 today! You can also find it at other fine stores and even newsies, just check out the Bay Area map.

We are super excited that Lilli Carre’s Nine Ways to Disappear made it into this Sunday’s New York Times Book Review! To celebrate the good news, we’re putting the book on sale for the rest of the month. So if you haven’t gotten a copy yet, there’s no better time!

Free Shipping was such a hit in November that we decided to extend it into December. So domestic orders $25 & over will qualify. Happy Holidays!

We’re still adjusting to the falling back of the hour and overeating of candy, but we’re managing to break out of our torpor to bring you good news. We have a bevy of new products from the very talented likes of Lilli Carre, Jennie Smith, Gemma Correll, and Jo Dery! And for the month of November, we’re bringing back free shipping for domestic orders over $25 when you shop online. So feel free to stock up for the holidays and spread the joy!

Martine will be signing copies of her Little Otsu mini Water and Fall and will have some of her fun handmade minis like Conversating, Cheek to Cheek, and the hilarious Hunks.

And be sure to check out other LO artists who will be at APE. Joey Sayers will be sharing a table with Minty Lewis and Damien Jay (booth 423) and Jeremy Tinder will be floating around somewhere, but will definitely be at the opening for his show with Grant Reynolds at Giant Robot on Saturday night.
