IndieSpensable Volume IV: Clown Girl

A while back, I decided to spring for an IndieSpensable subscription from one of my super favorite bookstores, Powell's Books. According to the site, IndieSpensable is a subscription that "delivers the best new books, with special attention to leading independent publishers. Signed first editions. Inventive, original sets. Exclusive printings.... Every six weeks, another installment to read and admire." What better thing for a girl who loves books, supporting local bookstores, AND getting fantastic fun things in the mail?



My first installment arrived today and I'm not dissapointed. Here's what's inside:
  • The Super Crazy Cat Dance - a "super-fun crazy comic for kids and grownups alike" by Aron Nels Steinke
  • Clown Girl by Monica Drake - one of a special limited edition of 750, and the novel's only hardcover printing
  • A rubber chicken key chain
  • A collection of extra large postcards featuring stuff abou the authors, Portland (Powell's Books hometown), and the series

I LOVE Powell's! Have you been there? It's so hard to leave. One could spend days and oodles of cash. Dangerous!
