Shill

Based on my vast knowledge of the law (gleaned exclusively from the You Be the Jury books of my youth), I am compelled to inform one and all that this blog is now a member of the Schuler Books affiliate program. If you follow a Schuler link from this site and buy a book, I’ll receive a clam or tw0. Schuler Books is an independent bookseller ’round my neck of the woods, so you can feel pretty good about any purchases.

I’ve always linked to Schuler anyway, so on a scale of “crazy blog moves”, with 1 being “change backgound color” and 10 being “I’m going to start talking about Civil War antiques now”, this is probably a 2 or 3.

I’m cool with you making a few bucks, but if you go Civil War antiques, I can’t go with you.
