AUGUSTINE’S PRESS 25% discount on all our titles Dear Friends: I must miss this year’s ACPA for family reasons, but though I’ll be gone, I don’t like the idea of being forgot- ten. So whatever good I could have done being at the meeting I’ll do being absent by offering all ACPA mem- bers a 25% discount on everything St. Augustine’s has pub- lished or is in the process of publishing (I suppose this means that though I’ll be gone, I won’t be missed). Simply go to our website, www.staugustine.net, and purchase anything you’d like, including forthcoming titles. At checkout be sure to put in “ACPA” (without the quote marks) in the promo code box. Then you will automatical- ly receive a 25% discount. This offer is good from November 12, 2009, through December 15, 2009, only.
