Pardon a shameless bit of capitalistic promotion, but it's one that ultimately helps you. The good folks at Wiley Publishing have had a regular program every year at this time, and March is officially "Dummies Month" . Buy any Dummies book or audio set and get a $5 rebate (up to two per family).
Here are the pesky details: buy any Dummies book, E-book or audio set with a purchase price of $6.99 or more, on any subject (not just ours) between March 1st - March 31st, 2011, and get $5 smackers delivered to your majestic manse's mailbox direct from the publisher. Or if you are sartorially challenged, you can forego the five clams and get a Dummies 20th anniversary T-Shirt instead.
Now obviously Alice and I would like you to take this opportunity to plunk down your hard-earned pelf and procure our books: Freemasons For Dummies, The Templar Code For Dummies, and Conspiracy Theories & Secret Societies For Dummies. Think of it as an economic stimulus package. We do have a poodle to support, after all. But there are more than 1,300 Dummies titles out there, and we would certainly understand if you already own ours.
