Hi\u2014<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

There was such a great response to last week\u2019s giveaway of Jerzy Pilch\u2019s The Mighty Angel that we\u2019re definitely going to do this on a regular basis . . . Copies of the book (and congratulatory e-mails) went out to the winners yesterday\u2014for everyone else, copies are available at better bookstores everywhere, or via our website<\/a>. (And yes, the book is even prettier in real life . . .)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

This week, we\u2019d like to do two things: <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

First off, I\u2019d also like to officially kick off our first $10 fundraising campaign. As a nonprofit press (that does a lot of non-revenue generating activity like the Best Translated Book Award, Three Percent<\/a>, and, well, publishing translations), we have to rely on grants and individual donations to keep doing what we\u2019re doing\u2014making great works of world literature available to readers like you (and me). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Obviously, the more money raised via this campaign, the more we\u2019ll be able to offer, but seeing as this is our first ever online fundraising effort, the real goal is to demonstrate a broad base of support for Open Letter and Three Percent. So, although we\u2019re more than happy to accept gifts of any level, we\u2019re only asking for $10. It\u2019s an affordable amount that adds up to a very significant total, and any show of support for what we do can\u2019t be overestimated. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

To contribute\u2014and I really hope you will\u2014simply take two minutes to fill out the online form here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Second, our new fall\/winter 2009 catalog is now available online<\/a>) with lots of interesting books that I\u2019ll be featuring on Three Percent in the near future and giving away through this newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Thanks in advance, and next week we\u2019ll be back to our regularly scheduled newsletter. (Unless no one contributes. Kidding, kidding.) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Best,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
