Is Patagonia on your bookshelf? Here’s a Giveaway to make it happen…
POSTED BY prbythebook ON November 27, 2012
Mention outdoor clothing company Patagonia and what comes to mind? Jackets! Puffy ones, fleece ones, waterproof ones — beloved, long-lasting, favorite ones.
How about books? That’s right. Patagonia has been publishing since 2007. But their little-known secret is out, as Patagonia Books are now available in digital form. Readers can now find all 12 titles in digital form at Patagonia.com, Amazon, BN.com, and iTunes.
eBooks do right by the environment: same great stories, less environmental harm. That’s why Patagonia has joined the mobile movement.
Great news for Patagonia-clad readers, since print books don’t really travel well. (Remember Cheryl Strayed in Wild, torching chapters on the trail?)
“Not only do eBooks have less environmental impact, they are also more portable,” says Patagonia Books Director Karla Olson. “We know that our audience is often on the move, and the convenience of having these titles available as eBooks will enhance their reading experience.”
Enjoy the thrill of the outdoors with eBooks from Patagonia – and this special giveaway!
