40% off books at Borders - good way to save on music books

Sign in to disble this ad
Borders has a promotional code going right now where you can get 40% off of the price of a book. If you enter DMB5387A in the promotion code box at checkout, it applies the discount.

I just ordered The Real Book Vol. 1 and it came out to be $18, shipped free to a Borders near my house. If you order more than $25, shipping is free anywhere.

If anyone needs Real Books, The Jazz Theory Book by Mark Levine, The Evolving Bassist by Rufus Reid, or any of the other "essential" books, now might be a good time to pick one up!

I found this on Slick Deals, always a good resource for saving a penny or two. (Or making impulse buys that you don't really need! )

Cool discount - thanks!

Just so we're clear - the discount only applies to the most expensive book you get.

Ah, I didn't know that as I only ordered one book. I suppose if you really wanted to you could make several one-book orders.
