BookNews from Eisenbrauns

Just 2 days left on our weekly sale, 1/3 off on selected 
Paternoster titles.

We're gearing up for ASOR and AAR/SBL. If you are attending either 
one of those shows, be sure to come by our booth and take advantage 
of the savings. 

This year, we are again having daily drawings for $50.00 gift 
certificates at AAR/SBL, no purchase necessary. Have you been 
drooling over that Eisenbrauns cuneiform mug? We will be giving 
them away free with a $75.00 purchase. 

Can't attend either conference? You can still take advantage of 
the savings. Visit our SBL page to download the order forms, or to 
get an idea of how to budget your funds (cash and carry prices 
are generally lower):
