Signed bookplate offer for the holidays
Greetings, friends! I’m here in San Francisco, a city that increased its restrictions after slowly opening back up, as the pandemic rages across the country. Many small businesses are struggling and may not survive the next year. Instead of going to book signings this year, I have these handy bookplates from Vintage Books. People can stick it anywhere inside the book and imagine that I signed it just for them. I am offering 1 signed bookplate for each purchase of Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century from an independent bookseller like my local Green Apple Books. Not only is this book a GREAT gift for the holidays, you can make it more unique with an autograph (or just keep it for yourself)!
NOTE: I have about 35 bookplates so I cannot promise each person will receive one.
Details
For residents of the US only. One bookplate per person. The bookplate will include “For [name], Alice Wong.” No personalized messages. If you do not receive a reply by email, this means I ran out.
Buy a copy of Disability Visibility from an independent bookseller from your local community or anywhere in the US.
Save the email receipt or take a screenshot of it.
Email me at DisabilityVisibilityProject@gmail.com with the following:
“Bookplate” in the subject line
Attach the receipt or include it in the body of the email.
Include the following information:
Name and mailing address
Name of the person for the bookplate—double check the spelling please!
NOTE: If any of the above information is missing, I will not fulfill your request because I do not have the time to follow up.
I will do my best to get these out in the mail asap!
Give early and often!
