More than 300 authors, more than 600 Books for Free or less than a Dollar/Pound. Each author is going to contribute to a charity for each book picked up. This particular charity is the Mary Cariola Center, which “serves hundreds of children and young adults each year through academic, residential, and community outreach programs. Mary Cariola’s highly skilled staff is unparalleled in their commitment to working with youth with disabilities and includes some of the finest special education teachers, therapists, nurses, and social workers in New York.” Exactly the kind of thing the world needs more of.
The list of books contains some that I’ve featured here and said very nice things about, a few books that I’ve read and haven’t made time to say nice things about, some books that are gathering dust on my eBook shelf, some books I’ve been meaning to buy (to start gathering dust), and a whole lotta books I haven’t heard of yet and probably should have on a list somewhere.
I’d point out some that I think you should be sure to check out, but I’d forget at least one book/author–probably a few–and then I’d feel really bad. So, go read the whole list yourself (it will take a bit, so give yourself some time). Then go buy some books/grab some for free, or just chip in directly to the Mary Cariola Center. Even better, do all of the above.
If you want to suggest something in particular that I check out from the sale–be sure to let me know (unless it’s your own book, that seems tacky)
