MAGIC TREE MEMBERSHIP SAVES CASH!
It's amazing how many regular Magic Tree customers have never heard of our easy membership program. The cost is only $10 and you'll receive 10% off all Magic Tree purchases (except sale items and gift certificates) for an entire year. There's no annoying membership card to carry, either. All members are entered on our cash register data base, and all you have to do when checking out is say, "I'm a member" and give your name. You'll also get mailings for special member events as well as discounts on bookstore classes and activities.
