Just in time for Valentine's Day,
the Guardian in London has
reviewed and raved about
The Secret Language of Sleep.
And, for the rest of the week,
you can buy it for $5!

- - - - We become very excited when a bookstore sends us a photo of its McSweeney's display. Spontaneous and unique, each one of these creations warms our hearts and inspires us to make more books, which then fill up more displays, which in turn rewarm our hearts—it's vicious cycle. To encourage this happy virus to unfurl into an international epidemic, we present this Web page highlighting displays past and present. We hope to honor some of your terrific creations, inspire future projects, and assist in any way possible. If you work at a bookstore with a display, or at a bookstore hoping to create a display, please e-mail Adam. - - - - EcoBooks
"This is a new bookstore in Tempe who ordered books from us before their doors were even open. Best of luck, EcoBooks!" - - - - Third Place Books
"The table is selling marvelously and I think we're really introducing McSweeney's to people who didn't know about you before!" - - - - Librairie D&Q Bookstore
"One of the reasons that we opened our store was that we wanted to have THE place in Montreal to buy McSweeney's books. The intelligence and good taste
of our customers far exceeded our wildest expectations, making the entire McSweeney's line the cornerstone of our modest neighborhood bookstore." - - - - Quimby's
- - - - Green Apple Books
"There aren't many truly successful 'brands' in the publishing industry, books of individual merit, working together over the years, building customer interest and loyalty. McSweeney's publishes these types of books, and, once a reader gets their introduction to this world, we often find them waiting in line for the next release. Being able to keep McSweeney's wide range of titles grouped together in a display draws attention to releases that may otherwise slip through the cracks and communicates to those not yet aware that these are books of merit, books that Green Apple believes in, and books that you should get to know." - - - - Pages on Kensington

"Due to the size and prominence of our McSweeney's display, whenever customers ask about it I tend to refer to it as our 'McSweeney's altar.' That way, in one fell swoop, I'm able to convey our store's commitment to this project and make a funny at the same time." - - - - Tower Books and Records
Even the Tower in Tokyo is getting in on the McSweeney's display. They put this display together for our 25th issue, and might do something similar for our 30th issue. Rie Muto, the head buyer at the Tokyo Tower, says, "Everyone − such as artists, writers, publishers, or anyone related to the book − loves our display on the wall." - - - - McNally Robinson
"McSweeney's is a noble enterprise undertaken with plenteous imagination. I am proud to support them and hopeful that some of their brilliance reflects on my store."
