25% Off Bear Manor Media Books Through April 29!

Great news, shut-ins! Bear Manor Media, publishers of my book Chain of Fools: Silent Comedy and Its Legacies from Nickelodeons to Youtube., are slashing 25% off the sale price of all books through the end of the month. I’m going to selfishly link you directly to MY book, and you can click to the rest of their catalog from there. They have so many terrific books, I know you’ll want to. I’d own every book they carry if I could. Just plug this code into your shopping cart: BM2529. The code is only for books, not magazines. Sale ends midnight April 29.

I am also planning an audio book of Chain of Fools, though, ironically the pandemic has slowed down production of that somewhat. Yes! Audio Silence, as well as Audio Silents! I am hoping to get it rolling when there’s a bit of a let-up in a few weeks. Be well, readers! And more importantly, read well, be-ers!
