BLACKWING PENCILS

Blackwing is a maker of high-end stationary goods with a cult following and a storied history. First introduced in the 1930s, Blackwing pencils were used by creators like John Steinbeck, John Lennon, and animator Chuck Jones. Today, they’re used by writers, engineers, designers, artists, journalists, and architects alike.

Blackwing recently created a custom pencil product for Independent Bookstore Day to be sold as a limited- item at participating stores (see below). Minimum order is three packs. All orders will be invoiced by Blackwing and shipped directly from their headquarters.

Contact Annmarie, Sales Manager, at [email protected] to place an order. Annmarie will need your name, store name(s), and billing/shipping addresses. Order by March 23 to ensure these products arrive in time for CIBD.

Penguin Random House Canada also invites independent booksellers to “sponsor” the #AnonymouseChallenge, based on the new book by Canadian author Vikki VanSickle. This challenge encourages families to go for a discovery walk or create something for their community and then post about it on social media using #AnonymouseChallenge. In celebration of CIBD and the role of indie bookstores in the community, PRHC and the author have decided to make April 24, 2021 the deadline for entries.

Participating bookstores can “sponsor” the challenge by sharing the information with their communities (in-store, online, via social media), choosing a local winner from the entries, and rewarding the winner with a prize pack of art-related picture books (donated by PRHC). Your local sales rep will be in touch to confirm interest. Sponsoring bookstores can find social media assets for the #AnonymouseChallenge here.
