Giovanni's Room - Saving Our Bookstores

After hearing that Giovanni's Room still needs approximately $30K to pay for the renovations to restore a brick wall that had threatened the building's stability, I've decided to donate all the proceeds from purchases of The Alphabetical List of Would-Be Princes between now and the end of 2009 made at Giovanni's Room directly to the bookstore. This will include publishing costs as well, so the entire $16 for the book will go directly to the store in the hopes that in some small way, this will help to keep the oldest operating gay- and lesbian-interest bookstore in the country in business and making a profit.

If you happen to be in the Philadelphia area between now and Christmas, please take a moment to drop by Giovanni's Room, located at the corner of 12th and Pine Streets, to help a local bookstore!
