This is a awesome response to a book ban! Florida Residents get a free book!
In response to our books being included in the Escambia County Florida book ban, Ripley’s is offering a free book to all Florida residents now through May 15, 2024. 📚 Join us in celebrating the weird and wonderful - claim yours at www.ripleys.com/general/floridabooks.
Recently, officials in Escambia County Florida have removed and flagged over 1,600 books for review and potential banning. In a weird plot twist, this includes eight encyclopedias, five dictionaries, and hundreds of reference books – including three of our very own Ripley’s Believe It or Not! titles.
However, the pen is mightier than the sword, and Ripley’s has decided to gift their annual book to Florida residents… for free. Now through May 15, 2024, Florida residents can request a book be mailed to them at 👉 ripleys.com/general/floridabooks, or – even better – get one right away, in person at a Florida Ripley’s Believe It or Not! attraction in Panama City Beach, Orlando, and St. Augustine Florida with a Florida ID, quantities are limited.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! books have entertained both adults and children alike for generations, as researchers, writers, and factcheckers scour the globe looking for stories of the weird and wonderful.
