Hi—
There was such a great response to last week's giveaway of Jerzy Pilch's The Mighty Angel that we're definitely going to do this on a regular basis. . . . Copies of the book (and congratulatory e-mails) went out to the winners yesterday—for everyone else, copies are available at better bookstores everywhere, or via our website. (And yes, the book is even prettier in real life . . .)
This week, we'd like to do two things. First off, our new fall/winter 2009 catalog is now available online. Lots of interesting books that I'll be featuring on Three Percent in the near future and giving away through this newsletter . . .
But I'd also like to officially kick off our first $10 fundraising campaign. As a nonprofit press (that does a lot of non-revenue generating activity, like the Best Translated Book Award, and, well, the Three Percent website as a whole), we have to rely on grants and individual donations to keep doing what we're doing, making this great works of world literature available to readers like you (and me).
Obviously, the more money raised via this campaign, the better off we are, but seeing that this is our first ever online fundraising effort, we're much more in demonstrating that we have a broad base of support for Open Letter/Three Percent. So although we're more than happy to accept gifts of any level, we're only asking for $10—a very reasonable amount, that will add up to a significant total if there is widespread support for the Press. . .
To contribute—and I really hope you will—simply fill out the online form here.
Thanks in advance, and next week we'll be back to our regularly scheduled newsletter.
Best,
Chad
