McSweeney’s back issue sale
From their email newsletter:
We know it’s October here in the office when Brent buys a broken industrial refrigerator for $200 from an old man who tells him to leave the Freon on the street “at night” and then gestures at the rest of us and says “don’t let them know you did it.” This actually happens every year around now. Brent’s going to use it as a large cupboard. We don’t know where the refrigerators go at the end of the month–does Brent dismantle them? Does the old guy come back after Brent’s checks bounce? Is he selling us the same refrigerator year after year?? It’s something we need to think through, when we get a chance.
Meanwhile, through the end of the month, we’re discounting all available back issues of McSweeney’s–the last ten issues are all 25 percent off. So if you missed the comics issue, or the cigar box, or the one that came with Robert Coover playing cards, or any of the equally excellent others, now’s the time to get `em. You can find them here.
