June always presents a host of conundrums, among them how best to mark Pride month – this year I’m going with the historical precedent of rioting against cops as our spiritual ancestors did –  and, for the first time, how best to celebrate my own achievement of writing a book on the history of the Yuri genre, as well. ^_^

For the remainder of this month, I am giving a signed digital bookplate away to anyone who has purchased a digital copy of By Your Side: The First 100 Years of Yuri Aime and Manga in a digital format! (Click the link for all the online sites I have links for and for Bookshop.org if you want to support a local bookstore. Any legitimate digital format is allowable, Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or directly from the publisher.

All you need to do is send me a copy of your receipt for the e-pub, Kindle, etc, to bys@yuricon.com and I’ll send you back a signed digital bookplate with original art by Rica Takashima, especially for By Your Side!
