In our October book and graphic novel subscription packages
Emerging artist Alyssa Cuffie

Every month we feature a different artist whose work we send along with books and graphic novels in special care packages. In October we are featuring a beautiful zine by Alyssa Cuffie, a multidisciplinary creative from Brown Deer, WI who currently lives in Raleigh, NC.
The works of Alyssa Cuffie (she/her) span digital art, zines, collage and poetry. She recently designed a zine for The Bronzeville Center for the Arts in celebration of Bronzeville Week in Milwaukee. Alyssa was also responsible for Womanifesto Magazine, a creative arts magazine focused on uplifting BIPOC voices in the legacy of womanism, donating the profits back to the artists. Her most recent project is a webzine and NFT collaboration where she curates a web experience and mints unique digital art to go with them every week. When Alyssa is not working, she can be found tending to her houseplants or starting another new hobby.

In our September book and graphic novel subscription packages
MOODY, a zine with work by queer & BIPOC creatives

In September 2021 we partnered up with MOODY, an amazing Milwaukee-based zine that brings contributions by queer and BIPOC creatives. Curated and edited by Melissa Mursch-Rodriguez, MOODY is a monthly handmade zine that features contributions by queer and BIPOC creatives from across the country and the world. The artists share not only images of work, but also stories, poems, notes on their creative process, QR codes to online content, and whatever else has been on their minds. Importantly, all of Moody’s contributors are paid for their participation.

Melissa Mursch-Rodriguez is a creator whose practice includes fiber arts, zinemaking, poetry, and programming. She finds herself at the intersections of race, sexuality, and gender in her identities as a mixed chicana queer woman. The personal is political, and Moody hopes to create radical community by sharing the personal vulnerabilities of queer and BIPOC creatives with each other and others.

Feel free to contact us at lionstoothmke@gmail.com with instructions and/or questions

You don't have to do anything! You will start receiving your care packages in the month specified on the card. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions
 
Do the subscriptions renew automatically?
No. We will notify you when your subscription is expiring and you can choose to renew it if you wish
 
Will the book be a surprise? What if I already have it?
It's a surprise, yes, but you can return the book and request a replacement if you already have it

How is this different from buying the book on Amazon?
You get a ton of stuff with the book. You learn about artists and authors you may not otherwise know. You join our awesome community and support an independently-owned bookstore. You don't help expand Beelzebezos' evil empire. You get an amazing book in a padded envelope full of surprises, and not in the same box as your bulk toilet paper
