Win a $250 Powell's Card
and two $100 cards for your friends!
Your votes will decide who gets to wear this year's coveted Golden Galoshes!
All you have to do is answer this simple question: What was the best book you read in 2008?
What shook your shelves last year, dear reader? Fifteen hundred pages of transcendent prose, or a heart-thumping undead romance? The memoir of a president-to-be, or of a president-who-wasn't? Was it a translated collection of spellbinding verse, or a novel written in English that seemed lost in translation? Was it an Indiebound title, or an Indiespensable title?
Yes, we know — to your friends, Roberto Bolaño is the shiznit. But in private, you're all about Stephenie Meyer.
Look, there's no shame in loving any book, be it a literary masterpiece or bestselling romance. So, come clean! Tell us your favorite book that you read in 2008 and you'll be entered in our random drawing to win... more books! Plus, your fave title could go home with the coveted Golden Galoshes.
Go ahead, be honest. We promise not to judge you or snicker behind your back. Share your picks with us, free of shame or hesitation.
But hurry — voting ends January 20, 2009!
The Fine Print
On behalf of the Fine Print Society of America, we'd like to welcome you to the fine print. Take your time, look around, get a feel for the unique intricacies of our particular brand of Powells.com Fine Print. We use only the finest print available. Every word is approved by the F.P.S.A., which uses its exacting standards to ensure that it's all fine, pure print, and 100% organic. We recommend composting all fine print, as it makes excellent, nutrient-rich humus for any word garden. Your vocabulary will grow overnight until it's positively bursting with delicious, sumptuous, ambrosial, savory, titillating, gratifying, divine, piquant, sapid, exquisite, yummy, toothsome, utterly scrumptious adjectives.
(Please note: this fine print is not legally binding, as it has not been approved by the American Federation of Legally Binding Fine Print, which is presently embroiled in a tumultuous dispute with the Fine Print Society of America over the merits of composting fine print rather than recycling it to be cleaned, pressed, and reused as new fine print. The matter is under arbitration by the Academy of the Very Finest Print and Very Printiest Fineries, and we expect a legal ruling by the end of the decade.)
