December 2007, part deux
From WikiThing
Dear LibraryThing member MEMBERNAME,
As promised, the holiday edition of LibraryThing's State of the Thing.
Contents |
[edit] SantaThing
SantaThing is Secret Santa for LibraryThing members.
The idea is simple. Pay $25. You play Santa to a random LibraryThing member, and pick out up $20 worth of books, based on their library or a short description. Someone else does the same to you. LibraryThing orders the books and pays the shipping, so no addresses are exchanged and no members are stalked!
Sign up by Thursday, December 13 at noon EST.

Even if you don't want to be a Santa, you can help by suggesting books for others.
[edit] T-shirts
Just in the nick of time, LibraryThing t-shirts. Shirts are $20, and available in black or cardinal, with white lettering. Our stock won't come in for another week, but you can pre-order now. If you want them to come by Christmas, order by December 19th, 3pm EST, and make sure to choose priority mail shipping.

[edit] Book pile contest
We're throwing a holiday-themed book pile contest. Take a photo of your books, be creative and inspired, and wait for the accolades to start pouring in.

[edit] Gift memberships and more
LibraryThing memberships make great gifts--and a CueCat barcode scanner is a great stocking stuffer...

[edit] Italian sources
We just added a heap of Italian sources--the retailer deastore.com, thirteen libraries, and the Vatican Library!
Happy holidays from all of us!
