I dislike the feeling of being perceived as a part of the consumerism that seems to be inherent in December. I like the things that Eisenbrauns sells; I enjoy creating the mugs (with a lot of help from others!). I like that people enjoy and use what we sell. But, I don't want to be one of those who is fighting for your holiday dollar (or Euro). So, with that in mind, feel free to delete this message and get that final term paper done, or study for that exam, or grade those papers. Or, perhaps the best option, spend some time enjoying those you love and enjoying the lights that are everywhere this time of year. If you did decide to read on, here's a table of contents for what ignited that soul-searching: Sales: 1. SBL sale 2. Weekly sale 3. Monthly sale Catalogs: 1. EAP 2. Scholar's Source 3. ANE Gift stuff: 1. Gift certificates & wish list 2. T-shirts 3. Mugs 4. Brass bookmarks >SBL sale: The order form for our SBL discounts is still available: http://www.eisenbrauns.com/sbl The prices on the order forms are good through December 31, 2009. In order to get the discounted price, you must fax or mail the form to us. If you picked up a form at ASOR/ETS/SBL, don't forget to send it in.

Or, give a gift certificate good at Eisenbrauns to someone. Details are on our home page. >T-shirts: We had people at SBL asking about the cuneiform t-shirts that some of us wore. Those are available from Caf? Press: http://www.cafepress.com/eisenbrauns >Mugs: We still have some cuneiform mugs in stock, but when they are gone, that's it. The mug we used has been discontinued, so we can't make anymore. It's sure to be a collector's item. If you didn't get a Gezer Calendar mug yet, we still have some in stock, but not many. Better hurry, because the new mug will be making its appearance sometime next year. You don't want to be without a full set of Eisenbrauns language mugs! >Bookmarks: We haven't mentioned our brass bookmarks for a while.
