My new work is very into freebies and almost-freebies.

In the month and a half that I've been working there, we've moved buildings, had a best-selling novel, and had... rain. Which means that I am now the proud owner of:
- a Penguin mug
- a Penguin notebook
- a canvas Penguin bag
- a huge Penguin umbrella
- a best-selling novel
...which cost me, in total, five dollars.

Five dollars. For the single item on that list that I paid for rather than having it foist upon me by enthusiastic freebie-givers.


By this time next year, I'm hoping for a full range of Penguin-themed sportswear.

Hey! We work for the same company! That's exciting. I'm guessing that the novel was the one item you paid for... and we get discounts on those too! If you're patient enough to order books through the website. Which I'm not. But it's still nice to know it's an option.

Hooray for freebies!

Penguin mugs are an exclusive design here - collect more, and come for a visit ...s ell them, and stay longer!

Don't know if it's "Hooray" for DW or just the general Booooo that LJ is getting at present - but you are the winner!

I think it is such a shame that when they join with Random House they are not going to be called Random Penguin.
