+<div class="flash flash_notice">
+booksh.lv is currently entirely free to use while it is in beta.  When
+we launch properly and start accepting money, we'll contact you and
+let you know
+</div>
+
+<p>Basic use of booksh.lv is free for as long as it takes you to
+  evaluate it.  But if you like it, why not buy a subscription?  An
+  annual subscription costs only £8.99 - the same price as a paperback
+  edition of John Brunner's 'Stand on Zanzibar'.  Your money:
+
+<ul>
+<li> helps ensure that the site continues to be developed, and doesn't go
+off air due to hosting costs.
+
+<li> lets you escape the idle account purges.  Free accounts are deleted
+periodically if they look inactive or if it becomes uneconomic to
+retain them.  If you've bought a subscription, your data is safer.
+
+<li> puts a big golden star on your profile page so the world can see
+you're fully paid up
+</ul>
+
+<p>Please note that the developer already has a copy of John Brunner's
+'Stand on Zanzibar' and doesn't really need another.  Cash or
+negotiable instruments preferred.
