Borders.com Newsletter Volume 2, Number 6 Thursday, July 15, 1999 Dear Friend of Borders.com: Let me tell you up front, I'm on a big bargain kick these days. DVD players, patio furniture, car wax -- it doesn't matter what the item -- I'm looking for a deal. And I know it's out there somewhere, just waiting for me to find it. Considering my current preoccupation with bargain hunting, you'll understand why I lead this week with a bunch of our best deals. Here we go: NEW YORK TIMES 50% OFF PICKS OF THE WEEK -- Consider "Summer Sisters," the huge-selling paperback from Judy Blume. We've got it at the 50-off price of $3.75. That's three dollars and 75 cents, folks. That didn't even cover my popcorn at the "Phantom Menace" matinee I caught the other day. Another new one, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," finally released in paperback after one of the most successful hardcover runs of all time, is priced at just six bucks. Forgive my carnival barking transgression, but that's Two Top Titles For a Ten Spot. Check out these and other New York Times best-sellers at 50 percent off every time you stop by the site. Summer Sisters: email.borders.com Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: email.borders.com 50% Off New York Times Best Sellers: email.borders.com HARRY POTTER PRE-ORDER -- Attention Muggles (if you're confused, ask your kids): the newest, not-yet-released Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban," has a late September appointment with the New York Times bestseller list. In the meantime, we're jumping the gun for all you pre-orderers out there and cutting the price in half. Read an excerpt from the upcoming book and order now to receive the book as soon as it hits the streets. And don't forget our other forthcoming titles at 50% off, too. Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban: email.borders.com 50% Off Forthcoming Books: email.borders.com BORDERS STAFF REVIEWS -- Not sure what title to pick up next? Every week, we tap into the expanding universe of Borders experts -- from all over the globe now -- for reviews you can use of books, music and video. It's a flat-out fact: no other site on the Net offers as deep and vast a pool of book, CD and video experts. And they love telling you what they really think. For a sampling of what we're talking about, read the wonderful review of Martha Beck's recent release, "Expecting Adam" by one of our Borders employees in Federal Way, Washington; Or the review of the latest from techno-pioneer Orbital written by one of our home office staffers here in Ann Arbor. Both are excellent examples of the kind of opinion you'll find throughout our site these days.

Pokemon is red-hot and the books and trading cards are flying off of our shelves right now. Here's a collection of Pokemon goodies for the cartoon and video game faithful while you wait for the Gold and Silver Pokemon releases later this year.
