Join the Book Nerd posse!
This definitely comes under the listing of tooting my own horn, but I'm hoping some of you will get a kick out of it. Thanks to the graphic design help of my brilliant sister Sarah...
You can now purchase your own Book Nerd T-shirt!
Just imagine -- bookish types walking around, all over the country, with their hair-band/L.A. gangster/motorcycle-mob typeface t-shirts, proclaiming their unrepentant book nerdism. It's a beautiful thing.
The Cafe Press thing is something I've been thinking about for a while, for a couple of reasons:
1) Several people have asked where they could get their own Book Nerd shirt like the one in my profile photo. Since that was something the ALP had custom-made for me, I didn't have anywhere to send them. Now I do.
1) I'll make a couple of bucks on the sale of each t-shirt, which will go straight into the Future Bookstore Fund. It's not likely to be a major source of funding, but the overhead price is right (i.e. nothing), and I figure it can't hurt to put it out there.
I know the prices are a little steep for t-shirts. The base price for Cafe Press apparel is high, but they do provide all of the infrastructure and product, and they've got a good reputation.
And hey -- you can get a shirt for just about the price of a hardcover book.
You've got your classic white-on-black option, and an organic white shirt with black lettering. Either one looks pretty darn cool.
Do let me know what you think, and especially if you've got ideas for other designs or products I should be offering. Hope you enjoy, my fellow book nerds!

Book Nerds aren't generally known for being athletic!
Will you autograph them, like my Ronnie Lott jersey?
