Book and Practical Publisher Tote
$50.00
Calling this tote bag the Practical Publisher was a joke - OK, not a funny one, but the kind that makes you smile ironically, if only inside. Publishing is anything but practical and we are proud to be in it for the sake of the work. But still. If you're a low bagger, this bag is for you. It is perfect for carrying books and the gray background makes the Blue Books logo look really good! Be the first on your block. Or somewhere. Buy a bag to put your copy of A Journal of the Plague Years: Words & Music from the Lost Days in for a $5.00 discount. Shipping included within the U.S.
