If you live in North America I'll ... oops, offer now closed
I am pretty sure most people on my friends list know about this, but just in case: here's a link to Vera Nazarian's appeal for people to buy Norilana books to help her move her elderly mother, four animals, and what few possessions they can fit in their car across the US due to losing their home. I don't know all the ins and outs of the story of what happened with the bank, but I do know that Vera and her mother have been struggling for years against a system that is uncaring and, from what I can gather about this case, unfair.
Money is scarce for most of us and there are a million places it is needed. I will just say that if you have a little bit to spend, Vera is a member of our community as an author and as a publisher who supports writers by giving a home to excellent work that doesn't quite fit the increasingly-strangulated model of major house publishing. She is also the sole carer of an elderly person.
For myself, I don't buy a lot of books because I haven't time to read (that's another post--but really it is getting silly, me and wanting to read things but not managing it). Also, the transatlantic shipping is appalling.
So here's my idea. If you live in North America and would like something fromthe Norilana catalog, for yourself or as a gift to someone you know, please leave a comment and I will BUY YOU A NORILANA BOOK.
First come, first served--I'll go up to what I can afford and then I'll have to draw a line, so have a look and let me know. If nobody comments, I will be very sad. It won't cost you a penny.
For starters, you could ask for this book:
And then Vera will get the income not just as publisher, but as author.
Have a look at the catalog and let me know?
ETA: Thank you all for coming by. THIS OFFER IS NOW CLOSED DUE TO LIMITED FUNDS. Special thanks to everyone who signal-boosted or bought titles. If you asked me for a book, please PM me your details & the name of the book.
