Sale! Sale! Sale!

I'll be posting this week about how completely insane the post office is -- I know, you're shocked -- but as a quick summary here, let me just say that part of the reason SHM's price hasn't gone down yet is because, well, the post office is completely insane.

I have explored all my options in terms of bulk mailing, media mailing, and passenger pigeon, and at this point in our circ numbers, I'm pretty much working with what I've got now, which is that postage accounts for a hefty chunk of SHM's cover price.

I wrote a lovely rant about the ins and outs of the filthy moolah involved in sending out multiple copies, which I'll be sharing soon.

But first I wanted to announce that between ordering too many back issues for a conference I ended up not being able to go to and finding a small but significant loophole in the postal system, I'm having a sort of sale.

If you check out the purchase/subscription page of SHM's site, you'll see that you can buy issues #1 - #4 for $21.00, as opposed to the $28.00 such a purchase would ordinarily cost:

I can only offer this as a domestic purchase -- that is, within the United States. All four issues must go to the same address (at least from me -- you can send them wherever you want once you get them). And this offer is only good while supplies last.

Can I just say, as a disinterested observer, that nothing says "holidays" like a heapin' helpin' of Secular Homeschoolin'?

Well, excuse me, Mr. or Ms. Marketing Genius. My sparkling writing skills aren't what they ought to be this morning. It's still early over here.

(Okay, okay -- it's past noon. But it feels early. I'm trying to cut down on my caffeine intake, and my eyes feel all squinchy.)

Please spread the word. Oh, and send chocolate. Southern California is scorching, and I'm thankfully well clear of all the fires but it's still scary and the air is an icky orange mass. I'm not going out any time soon, which is good since I've got a bleep of a lot of writing to do. So extra, extra dark on the cacao count, please.
