[Pdx-pm] Fwd: B&N 40% Off Sale Continues, but Apress Photo Contest Ends

[The Dread Parrot]

Lucky for you all, I gave that the dockside cabbage test.  Snapping 
pictures of yourself doing weird things in front of endcaps sounded a 
bit fishy.  So, no "nanos for acting like nuts", guess they're going to 
stick to selling books.

Contrary to our earlier announcement, Apress is immediately withdrawing
 the photo contest component from the Barnes & Noble 40% Off Summer
 Promotion. (But the 40% savings off select Apress and friends of ED
 titles is still in effect through August 9, 2006.)

In an effort to create a visual and dynamic experience, Apress
 unintentionally violated the Barnes & Noble in-store photography
 policy. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused them and wish
 to apologize.

We hope to devise an alternative dynamic and visual component every bit
 as interesting as the original photo contest. Please continue to check
 back for any updates about a subsequent contest:
 http://www.apress.com/promo/bnj/.

Barnes & Noble will continue to feature ten select Apress and friends
 of ED titles at 40% off the list price. Additional Apress and friends
 of ED titles at 40% off are available online only from
 www.bn.com/apress. To find the closest Barnes & Noble store, and to
 read about featured titles, visit http://www.apress.com/promo/bnj/.

Thank you for your understanding and patronage of our great partner,
 Barnes & Noble.

Sincerely,

Apress and friends of ED
