[Posted on behalf of Small Beer Press.]

Item Name & Description: A Small Beer Sixpack, a subscription to LCRW, advanced reading copies of some sekrit yet-to-be-published books.

Love beer? Love books? We have the perfect prezzie for you! We stuff six of our excellent and often award-winning books into a sixpack — if you bid more than $200 we'll swap out the local brew sixpack holder for a lovely, handmade, wooden Small Beer Press beer holder which you can proudly tote your beer (or other beverage of choice) around in for years to come.

We'll also include a 4-issue subscription to LCRW, our twice-yearly, 15-years-young zine, which has been called (by us): "the only zine we know of named after that Brooklyn girl made good, Jennie Jerome, aka Winston Churchill's mother."

And since we're mailing a big box of books your way we will throw in some extras until that box is stuffed to overstuffingness!

Starting Bid: $50

Notes: Your Small Beer Sixpack will be delivered within a couple of weeks after the end of this fantastic auction. If you go bid over $200 and request the wooden sixpack holder that may take a little longer. The first issue of your exciting new LCRW 4-issue, 2-year subscription will be included. After that, issues come out in May and November.

If there is more than one bidder who go over $200 we are happy to send out approximate duplicates—the more money for the fund, the better!
