American Mensa has teamed up with Amazon.com to create Smart Buys, an online storefront for all things found where Mensa and Amazon intersect. Books licensed by American Mensa and Mensa International? Find 'em here. Mensa favorites, recommended reading about fiftedness and intelligence, and books written by Mensans? Hundreds of books have already been added, with more coming every month. Mind Games winners going back to the inaugural event? If Amazon's got 'em, so do we. And who know what we'll find to add in the future?

Not only are we committed to collectiong all this great information into one convenient buying location, but here's the behind-the-scenes fun: A small percentage of each purchase (whether it's in the store or reached elsewhere in Amazon through our store) comes back to American Mensa as non-dues revenue, with no difference to your price paid. So bookmark the store, come do what you do at Amazon amyway, and help support American Mensa!

The store can be found by visiting www.us.mensa.org/SmartBuys
