Bookmans would like to encourage everyone to burn their books* as long as they can contain the fire. Maybe a few flags could be burned along the way as well. It's a free speech country and Bookmans stands firm for the free marketplace of ideas.

We are dedicating the entire month of September to the right to express ideas as well as the right to be exposed to those ideas. To that end, along side our regularly scheduled events, we've added events to get your dander up about attempts to supress your rights. Might we recommend Bookmans and Apollo 12 take on censorship through improv, Sept. 17 at Bookmans in Mesa? Alternatively, get geared up and wear your statement on censorship.

* Actually, Bookmans doesn't endorse burning books of any sort, but we do recommend knowing your rights.
