Aberjhani's Blog: Notes of a 21st Century Digital Scribe - Posts Tagged "package"

Following its publication almost a year ago, ELEMENTAL The Power of Illuminated Love won continuous critical acclaim, achieved commercial success, and generated exhibitions of art from the book. These fortuitous events have prompted a 40 percent off sale that will drop the acclaimed gift book's regular price from $39.95 to $23.97 at the AuthorsDen Bookstore from March 5 to March 10, 2009 at this url: http://www.authorsden.com/visit/vieww... .

The book's creators have supported the limited time discount "as a statement of appreciation to those individuals who have carried ELEMENTAL all over the world and out of a sense of solidarity with everyone else on the planet currently rising to the challenge of our current economic issues."

They have also set aside a number of copies for donation to libraries. Any library interested in receiving the book should submit the request to Aberjhani via AuthorsDen or his Amazon.com profile. Donation requests will need to be verified.

In addition to the sale on AuthorsDen, ELEMENTAL is currently available at the following locations: Barnes and Noble; Black Books Plus; The Book Lady (912-233-3628); The Diaspora Market Place (912-232-2626); The I.P. Stanback Museum and Planetarium SC (803) 536-7174; The Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum (912) 231-8900); and The Telfair Museum Jepson Center for the Arts Gift Shop (912) 790-8831.

As a home to more than 200 families, Robert M. Hitch Village is the largest government housing project in Savannah, Georgia, and just happens to be the place where this particular author grew up until the age of twelve. Growing up there as a black youth in the 1960s, I never imagined that one day an African-American president, several years younger than me, would provide the economic push that would make it possible for local leaders to schedule the demolition and reconstruction of my old neighborhood. Just as I had never imagined a day could ever come when such a course of action would be necessary. Nevertheless, more than half the project’s 337 units are presently unoccupied and boarded windows are a traumatic sight for both current and past residents.
