June is a pretty exciting month. For starters 11 different friends have birthdays this month, there’s Father’s Day, and there is my wedding anniversary. So one thing I’m 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’s June, and that is because June 2015 marks 40 years of independent publishing for Inner Traditions!
Inner Traditions 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’s, 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’s 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, Inner Traditions supports and administers the Hacienda Rio Coté. The project has acquired land in Costa Rica adjacent to the Rio Coté National Forest along the Rio Coté, which flows from Lake Coté, 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’m saying is, they’re definitely one of the good guys.
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’t 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!
Let’s lay it all out here. To celebrate Inner Traditions’ 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!
