For starters 11 different friends have birthdays this month, there\u2019s Father\u2019s Day, and there is my wedding anniversary. So one thing I\u2019m telling you is that I am totally broke at the end of June, but also that there is a lot of stuff happening in June for me. However, there is a reason that you should be excited that it\u2019s June, and that is because June 2015 marks 40 years of independent publishing for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.innertraditions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Inner Traditions<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.innertraditions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Inner Traditions<\/a> is a wonderful company that was one of the first to offer The Magical Buffet review copies. Obviously, that makes them tops in my book! It could also be their founder, Ehud Sperling\u2019s, commitment to preserving and discovering new age and spiritual traditions of the world that date back to his days as an employee at the bookstore Samuel Weiser\u2019s Inc. in 1970. Their books are published using sustainable forestry that is certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The company generates power from solar panels on the roof of its office and its solar farm, both in Vermont. Lastly, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.innertraditions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Inner Traditions<\/a> supports and administers the Hacienda Rio Cot\u00e9. The project has acquired land in Costa Rica adjacent to the Rio Cot\u00e9 National Forest along the Rio Cot\u00e9, which flows from Lake Cot\u00e9, once an active volcano. They planted more than 56 different species of trees to help restore the watershed and reforest the farms that were acquired for this project. What I\u2019m saying is, they\u2019re definitely one of the good guys.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/inner-traditions-office-EDITED-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inner Traditions in Vermont<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>They are so good that when I emailed them and told them that I was going to be doing a giveaway to celebrate their 40th anniversary they sent me some of the nicest tote bags I have ever seen. Seriously, so nice. I don\u2019t want to be shown up though, so I have pulled from my own library 10 different books that have been published by Inner Traditions (or one of their imprints) to give away!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s lay it all out here. To celebrate Inner Traditions\u2019 40th anniversary I went through my personal library and pulled 10 different books that have been published by Inner Traditions (or one of their imprints) to give away to ONE winner along with a super snazzy Inner Traditions tote bag, which you will need to haul ALL of these books around!
