A Great Deal...On Even Greater Reads

With gentle days and cool, quiet nights, summer is perhaps the best season for catching up on your reading. Not just recent bestsellers (hey, we're all guilty), but real thought-provoking titles. That's what we've assembled here, a list of over 40 books that are perfect for beaches, parks, and afternoons on a couch. Many from us, and others from good friends of the store, readers we assume in whose judgement you'll trust.

Friends like legendary novelist Saul Bellow, acclaimed Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and business guru Adrian Slywotsky. And like Gish Jen, author of the new Who's Irish?, and Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works. All these folks have contributed lists of recommended books (and, naturally, the Harvard Book Store staff has chipped in with a list of titles waiting to be discovered, and also some titles for the kids) that we're featuring in a great new program.

Buy any four books from the lists (available in the store or by contacting Harvard Book Store), and you'll get a $5.00 gift certificate good for your next purchase. Plus, we'll ship you those four books free to your summer (US) destination - the beach, the mountains, or your own front door.

Just stop in the store to see the great titles we have available, or call (800) 542-7323 to place your order. And have a great summer!
