  Help support science fiction library

     If you purchase books, cds or videos... now you can help support the

     Science Fiction Forum's library with every purchase you make. It's

     simple... there is a new link off of our website (www.sf4m.org) called

     "books". This is were we will place reviews that our members write,

     promote books that the officers and shift holders recommend and in

     general where the librarian will spew. The books that we review

     (whether positively or poorly), the books we recommend, etc. will have

     links to Amazon.com where they can be purchased. When you purchase a

     book that we have spotlighted... we, the Science Fiction Forum will get

     15% of the sale price. The money will be put directly back into the

     support of the library.

     If you just want a cd, or something that we wouldn't be spotlighting,

     but amazon.com does sell... if you start at our website, click the

     amazon banner or search engine, then buy the thing... we get 5% of the

     sale value.

     So... what it comes down to is this:

     You would buy the stuff anyway. If you simply go through our website,

     you help support a not for profit organization that is is poor financial

     straights. We support the whole science fiction fandom community that

     can reach us by maintaining a large publically accessable science

     fiction/fantasy & horror library, and running regular movie/tv marathons

     on the Stony Brook campus. We preserve copies of pulps and books that

     are decades old.

     Thanks for your support. I know the science fiction community supports

     its own.

         I've added links both to your web page and the forum on my science

         fiction pages http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~cdijkgra/sf.htm.
