Happy New Year!
We're kicking off 2012 with an " AMES QUOTE CONTEST" to rally up some
support for our second baseman, Jonathan Ames. The selected winner will receive
1 FREE AMES Novel-T. (pictured below)
HOW TO ENTER: Please post on our facebook wall or Captain's Blog your favorite AMES "quote". Submissions can be a character quote from his show Bored to Death or a quote from one of his literary works. (Please reference who/what you are quoting)). Likes and comments on your submission will get special consideration. Contest ends Sunday, January 8th, at 11pm eastern time.
Like many of his fans and teammates..... we are extremely disappointed by the "3 letter acronym" canceling Bored to Death. We hope all the petitions, letters and posts will be able to bring Bored to Death back!!!
Thank you for 3 hilarious seasons of BTD!

Book T-Shirts or Literary T-Shirts?
Posted by League Commissioner on November 12, 2011 0 Comments
At Novel-T, we like to think of our shirts as "literary t-shirts" or "literary t-shirt jerseys" or "literary jerseys." But there are many who prefer a simpler a name: "book t-shirts"--or even the super-succinct "book shirts."
The appellation "book t-shirts" has its merits. It's simple in just the way that the best writing is: straightforward and succinct. There's no haughtiness there.
But some of our shirts are not "about books" so much as they're about authors. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn each appear in two books each. Still, we suppose they are book t-shirts. But our Poe shirts are about a poem and short-story. And our William Blake t-shirt features artwork by Blake himself that's not closely connected with a specific book.
Maybe they're "author t-shirts" or "poet t-shirts" or just "writer t-shirts." Ehh, not quite the clear, clarion ring to those phrases that we're looking for...
So we think we're going to stick with literary t-shirts for now. But feel free to call them book t-shirts, or book shirts, or book-lovers t-shirts, or t-shirts for book-lovers. Because a Novel-T by any other name would still feel as soft.
