Veterans Day...and Beyond (a call to action!):

 We spent a lot of time yesterday thinking about the brave men and women who have taken their lives into their hands to protect not only Americans, but kindred souls across the globe.  People want to help in little ways - sending letters, beanie babies...even toaster pastries!...to show love and support to the members of our armed forces.  We asked ourselves - well, what can *we* do?  Well, we know that soldiers love books - and paperbacks are great diversion in war zones.  So - please - send us a comment, and tell us about your service man or woman.  We're hoping to pick a bunch to send boxes of books along to (we hear that APO addresses are easiest if we want packages to get through, and we need to send to a specific persion, as opposed to a battalion or unit) .  We're all booklovers--and firmly believe that good books help us see troubled times through.

Also, if you are interested in helping out, here are a few good sites that support veterans and active servicemen and servicewomen: http://paulmalmont.com/warrior-library/

(And here are some handy guidelines on how to best go about sending books to soldiers.)

Thanks to our fantastic armed forces for all they do!

That's really sweet, and it's another reminder of why you guys are my favorite imprint! My husband's not deployed right now, thank god, but from past experience, books have really helped make a difference in their quality of life while deployed. :)
