We have a few ur-copies of BalonaBooks, publications with black-and-white paper covers, original editions of older books with home-made editorial glitches that we want to give away to real Balona aficionados and Balona History buffs. You don't have to send an envelope or stamps or a letter. All you have to do is (first) check the Balona catalog for what you might like (it has to be one of the older titles, remember), then (second) e-mail Balona E-Mail, provide your name and postal address (with ZIP), and request a title. If we have an original first-edition of that title, we'll send it to you gratis (no charge--we pay the shipping, so it's really FREE)(we can do this only for US resident or military addresses only, no insult to our foreign-reader friends intended). If your requested title isn't available, we'll send a substitute that maybe you can trade around with friends, neighbors, relatives, sworn enemies, etc. Whatever we send, the author will provide an autograph on the title page.

What's the catch? No scam here. None at all. We simply don't want to put these originals on e-Bay and, because the books do have sentimental value. We do want them to go to Balona fans and potential fans.

For your almost-free bumper sticker for your Aston-Martin (or your Dad's Hummer or Mom's Suburban or Grandpa's garden wheelbarrow) or for your English teacher's Geo bumper or your bedroom wall; and possibly an authentic Balona ballpoint and maybe the author's genuine simulated autograph to paste inside your BalonaBook(s). Of course, with any BalonaBook you order via PayPal or RegSoft, you get a free bumper sticker, no questions asked!

Bumper sticker dimensions: 3" x 11.3"
