Apex Publications Ramps up the Raffle to Replace Stolen and Damaged Books
November 16, 2008 - Yesterday, Apex Book Company received a shipment of hardcover copies of Michael A. Burstein’s new collection “I Remember the Future.” At least, the box was supposed to contain the book. What we actually received was a box full of…nothing. A second box contained 16 copies of the book, but they were damaged and unfit for sale. In total, the damaged and missing copies amount to 1/3 of the shipment. The boxes containing the other 2/3 of the shipment have not yet arrived, and we are not optimistic about their location or condition.
Since the Annual Apex Raffle is currently in progress, we are extending the raffle in order to raise additional funds for the replacement cost of the books. Originally scheduled to end on November 30, the raffle will now run through December 15, with the priority allotment of funds going to replace the damaged and missing books. We understand that many of you reading this have already participated in the raffle, and we are grateful for your support. We ask that you assist us by passing the raffle link below along to anyone you think might be interested, or posting it on your blog or any forums you frequent that allow such items.
Here’s the raffle link: http://www.apexbookcompany.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=7
There are plenty of items for readers, writers, and collectors of all that is dark and good. And don’t forget, ’tis almost the season, and nothing says “Happy Holidays” like a gift that will scare the socks off your friends and family. Remember, 10% of all proceeds will be donated to Dolly’s Imagination Library, a community program to foster a love of reading among children. Don’t worry, we’ll wait until they’re older before we start making them read Apex books.
