In these unsettled economic times, when prices rise and incomes may decline, it is time to shop where one can get the most value for one’s money. Logos Bookstore is such a place for books. Starting October 1, all purchases of books in the store will be 10 percent off retail price. Logos also offers a discount club that one can join for free. The club works this way: After the first $100 spent there is a 20 percent discount on all books purchased in the store and 10 percent off any cards, music or gifts in the store. After $200 has been spent there is a 30 percent discount on all books purchased in the store and 20 percent off any cards, music or gifts present in the store. When $ 300 has been spent, the process, outlined above, starts again. There is also a discount coupon available in the Verizon Yorkville Community Yellow Pages.

As to the changes going on in one particular industry during this present time, Book Business by Jason Epstein delineates the past and current situations as well as the future of book publishing. As the creator of Anchor paperbacks in the 1950’s, a founder of The New York Review Of Books in the 1960’s, creator of The Reader’s Catalogue in the 1980’s and former editorial director of Random House, Epstein knows the book publishing industry well and presents clearly the current crisis facing book publishing.

His reminiscences of his life in publishing convey a feeling of what the industry was like from the 1950’s to the advent of the Web. For the committed book reader, Book Business is the book to read to find out the business side of books. Come to Logos and pick up a copy.
