Father’s Day Sale Now Until June 21!
May 21, 2010
EVERY DAD HAS HIS DAY!
Hello, faithful readers! As spring turns to summer, it is time once again for the BRI to gear up for our popular Father’s Day Sale. (Can you believe when we did the first Father’s Day Sale, the Monica Lewinsky scandal was the big news story?) One thing hasn’t changed: This sale is still the best Uncle John’s value of the year, and we have a great selection of new and classic releases to choose from. Here’s what you need to know:
- The Sale: From May 21st to June 21st, 2010, everything in our online store is 30% off! Plus, get FREE standard shipping for orders over $35! (Enter code FDSHIP when checking out to apply free shipping.)
- Shipping Reminder: Because standard shipping can take up to two weeks, order no later than Monday, June 7th, to make sure your books arrive in time for the big day. (But if you happen to forget, you can still order Express or Next Day shipping.)
- New Releases: We’ve got some great new titles to choose from: Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader Plunges into Canada, Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader The World’s Gone Crazy, and Uncle John’s Bathroom Puzzler: Genius Sudoku.
Bonus sale: We’ve tacked on additional discounts to two of our most treasured puzzle books!
During our Father’s Day Sale, we’re offering an even bigger discount on two of our fun game/trivia titles!
