THE BEGUILING BOXING WEEK 2020 SALES INFO!

BOXING DAY! Most in-stock books are 20% off.
Shop from the comfort of your home and get some truly amazing comics!

The medium-sized print:
Almost every in-stock, in-print book* ordered on December 25th, 26th, and 27th will be discounted 20% after checkout when we process your order.

You won’t see the discount when you check out. Even if you enter a credit card number. Nothing is charged until we have the books in our hands and have manually applied your discount. No worries!

The fine print:

  • This deal is on books that are in stock. You can see which books are supposed to be in stock on the webstore, and we’ll confirm that they are when we pick your order. Because inventory management systems (and the humans who operate them) are imperfect, there may be some things which show as in-stock but aren’t. Our intention is to give you a deal on the books we have here in the store, and this is the best way we’ve figured out to do this in these pandemic times. Please bear with us!
  • This deal is for regular, in-print books. Not rarities. Not old comics. Normal, regular, in-print books, as determined by us at our sole discretion.
  • This deal excludes December new arrivals. A brand-new release that came out on December 20th, for example, or stock of a zine we just got in on December 5th, would not be part of this deal. Again: this will be determined at our sole discretion.
  • This deal does not combine with any other discounts or promotions. The 20% off will be assessed against the Canadian publisher’s list price or the Canadian price based on The Beguiling’s current exchange rate
  • This deal does not apply to any items placed on hold or ordered before 25 December 2020. And it only applies to purchases placed on the dates of the sale.

Can I take advantage of this amazing sale without shopping online?
We’re taking a much deserved break during this sale, so online is your only option for getting these deals. We won’t be answering the phone, and we won’t be checking our email. If you want 20% off – place your order online!

You don’t need to have a credit card though! You can order online during the sale and pick up and pay by cash or debit at our curbside wicket after we reopen on the 28th.

So, to summarize: place your order online on the 25th-27th, get 20% off, and pick up (or have it shipped to you) when we’re back to business the following week.

Is that all there is?!
Nope! We’re going to have a bunch of rotating deals throughout the month of January. Really good ones, too. Follow us on Instagram @TheBeguiling or sign up for our mailing list to keep up with all of them and maximize your comics habit!

Weekend Sale – Mexico Earthquake Fundraiser

Regular Beguiling customers already know how enthused we are about contributing the vintage comics that are on display in the extraordinary “Guillermo del Toro: At Home with Monsters” exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

In the course of the show’s otherwise festive opening week, GDT has asked everyone to consider making a donation in support of earthquake relief in his native Mexico. (In September, the country was devastated by several powerful earthquakes.)

We already have a lot to be thankful about this Thanksgiving, and we’ll be showing our gratitude to GDT and the AGO for their ongoing support by running an in-store fundraiser. This Thanksgiving long weekend, The Beguiling will donate 100% of the sticker price of any one graphic novel purchased Sunday or Monday (Oct 8-9) to Ambulante, Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal’s crowdfunding campaign, and to UNICEF’s relief efforts in Mexico.

That’s right: We’ll be donating the entire value of a (1) graphic novel of your choice purchased on either day to charity. If you’ve been eyeing a new read, now’s the time. Drop by on Sunday or Monday and join us in supporting Mexico earthquake relief!

Not in Toronto this weekend? Donate directly to the campaigns here:

The Beguiling will be open Thanksgiving Sunday from noon to 6pm and holiday Monday from 11am-7pm.

TERMS: Limit one book per customer. Must be a book published prior to September 15, 2017. In store only, on Sunday October 8 and Monday October 9, 2017.

ABOUT WEAVERS #1

WEAVERS #1
(W) Simon Spurrier (A) Dylan Burnett (CA) Dylan Burnett

What’s to Love: From The Godfather to The Sopranos, organized crime stories have always fascinated us. Weavers is a macabre story with a twist on the familiar drama of dons, capos, and made men, mixing in supernatural elements that only writer Simon Spurrier (The Spire, Cry Havoc) can think up. It’s perfect for fans of Day Men or Scalped!

What It Is: Sid, a young man with nothing going for himself, becomes an unlikely new addition to The Weavers, a brutal, East Coast crime family whose members are bound to loyalty thanks to the supernatural spider inside each one of them, granting them powerful—and often grotesque—abilities. Once he realizes what he’s capable of, Sid sets out to pursue his own secret agenda, counter to the group’s objectives. But he doesn’t have much time—the longer the spider is inside him, the more loyal he becomes to The Weavers…

* Fine Print & Rules:

  • Yen Press novels and/or ‘light novels’ are not part of this special. Only manga.
  • Yen Press art books are not part of this special. Only manga.
  • The free manga must always be the one with the lowest regular price, as listed in our database. e.g.: If a customer is purchasing three manga, and two are priced at $13.99 and one is $12.99, the $12.99 manga will be the one that is free.
  • Please note that printed Canadian cover prices have changed dramatically over the past several years on Yen Press books. The printed price may not reflect the price in our system, and our system price is the exact, current Canadian cover price as charged by Yen Press, so that’s the price we’ll be using. Please ask ahead of time if you’re unsure.
  • Special pricing begins Thursday, July 23rd, and ends Saturday, August 1st (inclusive).
  • We reserve the right to refuse sale of any item.
