BookXcess’s Ode to Cheap Books Facebook Contest

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Dear Readers,

Here’s a poem written in conjunction with the launch of BookXcess’s new store. We’d like to think of it as our anthem. And we’d like you to be a part of it, because we are all in this together.

AN ODE TO CHEAP BOOKS (FOR ALL)


Cheap books never made anyone poorer.


They say as much as any other
and more of their reader.


Their pages turn as well, if not better
than the book that price has fettered.


Cheap books come from the same place
but they go farther.


Pulp from the same tree,
ink from the same well,
words from the same writer;
Cheap books are not bound to discriminate.


They are happy to come off their high shelves
to proffer a ride the next time they’re thumbed
with little thought of the next destination until the final full
stop.


Cheap books enjoy being passed around
to earn renewed reputation through annotations,
until dog-eared with irreverence
and creased with experience,
they come to look the part.


Yet they have never been more than just cheap books from the
start.


And their reader, never richer
to have read more for less.


Written by Daniel Kee for BookXcess

How to Participate in Our Ode to Cheap Books

4. Get your friends to vote for your video by getting them to ‘like’ your video. Tag yourself and the friends you’d like to share the video with.
