EVEN my book, Art at the Speed of Life has been ‘hurt’:-( Doesn’t it just make you want to pick it up, take it home and care for it?!

“Our Hurt Book Sale is one of our most highly-anticipated sales events of the year,” says Interweave Books Marketing and Sales Director Elisabeth Malzahn. “With prices slashed as low as 70-percent off retail for many of our books, we know that many budget-watching artists and crafters will find some good deals.”

Hurt books are still in good condition but may have slight imperfections, like minor dings, a scratch on the cover, or a bent page. In addition to the huge discounts on hurt books, Interweave will be offering exclusive discounts on overstock books, eBooks, and book-related DVDs and video downloads during the sale.
