Shop Quimazon!
If you want to order books and dvds we don't normally carry, you don't have to go to online megastores like Amazon. Instead, consider ordering from a wholesale distributor we hooked up with, which we enjoy calling Quimazon (geddit?!). They can ship items from their warehouse to you directly. You can get up to 25% off on many items, and you can ship it wherever you want for cheap. We get a small kickback for directing you to them. They carry a wide variety of fiction, graphic novels, poetry, art and design books, screenplays, textbooks, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray, calendars, e-books, audio books, notebooks, stationary, New York Times Bestsellers, downloads and more. And by more, we mean things like digital audiobooks, such as Amy Poehler's Yes Please, written AND READ BY THE AUTHOR. The actress best known for her work on "Parks and Recreation" and "Saturday Night Live" reveals personal stories and offers her humorous take on such topics as love, friendship, parenthood, and her relationship with Tina Fey.
