Just got this in my email, 50% off at Barnes and Noble according to dvdtalk.

Thought I'd share for your reading pleasure, /lit/.

because then the independent bookstores go out of business, B&N raises their prices and now has a monopoly over books and nobody can afford to read. the populace becomes retarded.

This coupon is badly photochopped. Notice that the bar code is sharp while the rest of the coupon is blurry. A cupon from B&N would be a clean image.

At best this anon is giving you a coupon he expects to work, based on the fraudulent coupon algorithms frequently posted in /b/.
At worst he's giving you something he hope will get you detained by the police.

I'm being nice you /lit/, even though you gave me shit in the J.K. Rowling critique thread earlier. This is your last freebie.
