On December 19, the nice people at Books are Fun brought in a book fair for the Zappos employees to enjoy! The prices were first rate, and they had every kind of book genre imaginable!

Fiction and Non-fiction, cooking, history, comedy, kids....it was all there! Thoughout the afternoon Zapponians came and went, purchasing what probably ended being Christmas presents for friends or family, and at great prices.

Thanks again, Book are Fun! And we love your name! :)

The Zappos book fair is here! So don't miss out on hundreds of discounted books ranging from best sellers to cookbooks to fun books for the kids. It's a great oppotunity to get a little something for you and the family and to not feel guilty about buying that book you always wanted, because the proceeds will help support the Arthritis Foundation.

Ever dance with a Dev'r in the pale moon light?

Yesterday was book fair day at Zappos, wherein half of our cafeteria was transformed into a small book shop. It really brought some of us developers back to the days of elementary school where such events were not uncommon. Perhaps this feeling was strongest of all for Shane, who discovered a gem of a book entitled High School Musical : All About Dancing.

Part story book and part instructional dance manual, nobody had seen anything quite like it before. It's true that one can get away with a great many things by saying "It's for my daughter", but I happen to know for a fact that Shane is a man who loves to dance! As soon as the recess bell sounded, Shane grabbed Becky and the two started cutting a rug- with director of development Brent calling out dance moves from the book. I was pretty surprised, but the three of them managed to pull off a pretty good show for not having had any rehearsals!

Incidentally, 10% of Shane's book purchase (and all of the other books sold that day) will be donated to the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. Thanks to Suchi for the great action shot!
