[Husker] Husker Reading

[Mike Jaixen]

Apologies for the blatant plug in advance.

"A Sea of Red" is sold with magazines, since it's more of a periodical.  (Well, that's what we're hoping anyway.)  You can order it directly from the publisher at http://www.maplestreetpress.com/book.cfm?book_id=31 .  HuskerPedia is also selling it.  It's also available on magazine stands throughout the Nebraska area.
