OLIVIA Book Sense Gift Cards Available Next Week

A new gift card featuring Ian Falconer's OLIVIA will be available to stores participating in the Book Sense Gift Card Program via the reorder website, booksenseorders.givex.com, beginning Wednesday, August 8, at noon EDT. Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, the card's sponsor, is covering the cost of the card (22 cents), the transaction fee (50 cents), and the presenter (8 cents). Booksellers are encouraged to act quickly as supplies are limited, and orders will be filled on a first-come first-served basis.

Quantities will be limited to 100 generic cards and presenters or 250 imprinted cards and presenters per company. Booksellers will need to pay to add an imprint, if desired, and all other associated Book Sense Gift Card program costs and fees, including increments, shipping, and handling.

On the card, OLIVIA, who is carrying a stack of books, proclaims, "Reading never wears you out!" The card comes with a coordinating presenter.

Questions about the new card should be addressed to ABA's Jill Perlstein at jill@bookweb.org or (800) 637-0037, ext. 6642, or to Linda Ford at lindaf@bookweb.org or ext. 6644.

Booksellers must be current ABA members and have a signed Book Sense Gift Card program Letter of Agreement on file to be eligible for this offer.
