Holiday Gift Giving . . . Finny style (via Justin Kramon)

Justin Kramon, author of Finny, has been featured on Beth Fish Reads as a Pennsylvania author. He is also one of the nicest people -- I know because I was lucky enough to meet him in New York at last year's BookExpo America (BEA) and then again in Baltimore at the Baltimore Book Festival.

Anyway, I wanted to let you Finny fans and you who have not yet read the book about this great gift idea.

Justin and The Open Book (an independent bookstore in Long Island) are making it possible for you to purchase signed and personalized and gift-wrapped copies of Finny (Random House 2010) for only $17.

The price includes wrapping and shipping. The novel will be signed and personalized to whomever is receiving the gift, gift-wrapped, and then shipped anywhere in the continental U.S. The book will be guaranteed to arrive before December 25.

This is a double gift because $1 from every purchase will be donated to feedingamerica.org, an accredited charity that feeds hungry children across the United States.

For complete information about this great opportunity, visit Justin's website and be sure to place your order by December 7, to guarantee arrival before Christmas.

Bonus: if you go to the bookstore's website and click on "staff picks," you'll learn a little-known fact about Justin.
