DONATE...and get these beautacious bookplates as a thank-you gift!

Here's the donation button for the $7.77 Anniversary. (Yes, you get the bookplates. The "any amount" button is below.)

Hey, why should I donate when I can just read the site for free?

Well, donations help the site stay free. You've no doubt noticed that the whole web has become atrociously commercialized. There's nary a website anywhere not covered in advertising, particularly those expanding ads that block out half the page content when you mouseover them. Here, on the other hand, I don't even have Google ads. And that's how I like it. SF Reviews.net is resolutely part of the old-school web, 100% independent and proud of it. You can't buy two gallons of gas these days with $7.77, but you can keep SF Reviews.net chugging along for quite a while!


Hello, faithful readers. I love being able to keep SF Reviews.net ad-free — even Google ads seem tacky to me, though with as many hits as this site gets, I admit I'm tempted. But I prefer to rely on the generous donations of readers to keep things running smoothly. Still, I know how pimping for donations just seems like crass cyber-panhandling. So I wanted to offer a little something in return to all of you who'd like to kick in some of your hard earned wampum.

These lovely bookplates are my thank-you gift to donors. (The actual ones are larger than this sample image, of course.) In Radiohead style, you can pay whatever amount you want (except for nothing — a minimum of $1.00 is appreciated), and once your Paypal transaction successfully completes, you'll be forwarded to the full-size image. It's a 300 dpi PNG file, with two bookplate designs that you can print out as many times as you like. I recommend getting some full-sheet, 8½ × 11" labels, like these. Set your printer to landscape format, print, cut and stick into your favorite books to your heart's content.

If you aren't being properly forwarded to the bookplates, e-mail me at tmw at sfreviews dot net and I'll take care of you.

Just my way of saying thanks. Cheers! —TMW
