For the next three days, everything at the McSweeney’s store will be marked at $1, $5, $10, or $15. If you weren’t the type of person inclined to buy All Known Metal Bands, a book that “contains the names of over fifty thousand metal bands” for the lofty sum of $22, it’s yours for the less lofty sum of $5, this week only. Baby Do My Banking, a “12-page vibrantly colored instructional board book is suitably scaled and captivating for parents and babies alike” is $3.50, and worth it at that price for all the hours you will save once you teach your toddler how to balance your checkbook and withdraw money for you from the ATM. Unfortunately, the sale does not extend to the combo subscription to The Believer, McSweeney’s, and Wholephin. But it does include Michael Chabon, Nick Hornby, Art Spiegelman, Dave Eggers, and more, all at discount prices.
