I have approximately 47 tote bags. At some point I’m going to have to start to fret about the environmental impact of my tote bag habit, but for now I can still enjoy them (unlike sparkling water, dammit), so:

Portland, OR (April 15, 2010) — In honor of Earth Day, Powell’s is conducting a promotion, at its store locations and online at Powells.com, featuring used books.
From April 20 through Earth Day, April 22, customers will receive a free Powell’s reusable tote bag with the purchase of three used books. Customers can sustain the environment and their wallets by reading used books.

Alison Hallett served nobly as the Mercury's arts editor from 2008-2014. Her proud legacy lives on.

  1. Today at work, we found ourselves absolutely hammered by online orders. Took us until the afternoon to realize this promotion was why.

  2. I’m 100% doing this tomorrow, sorry Cormac McCarthy, and Naomi Novik! The tote bag is way to much to pass up on, buying used!
    Only suckas buy newwwwww!

  3. I sustained my stomach yesterday by eating three tacos. And then for dinner I dove into the various half-eaten bags of chips I had around. Then I started reading a book I bought from powell’s, but I totally fell asleep.
