Pegasus Tagline.

I noticed in today's Bulletin article on Taglines, that the Bend bookstore, Between the Covers (I always want to say, Under the Covers, for some reason) has a nice little tag.

"Book lovers never go to bed alone."

Nice. Sly and cozy, just like the name of their store.

So I thought Pegasus Books should have a tagline.

For instance,

"Pegasus Books -- Buy a Damn Book."

Says what I want, but there is something inelegant about it.

How about,

Pegasus Books -- Buy a book, you illiterate wretch."

Better. Still says what I want, but there is still something...oh, I don't know...blunt? about it.

"Pegasus Books -- Show some parenting, and buy your kid a book."

Or how about:

"Pegasus Books -- Comics -- Smarter than you are."

Hmmm.

I think I'm not quite getting this marketing thing.

Anybody have any suggestions?

I think your ideas are hilarious and have the perfect touch of desperation.
