Save Baltimore's Book Thing. The Book Thing is a Baltimore-based org that collects used books, stamps them "Not for Resale" and gives them away. They're in trouble: We know that the current economy has hit all of us hard. The loss of our van made our situation at The Book Thing even more precarious. We appreciate all of those who have made the very valuable contribution of their books and time. we also need those of you that can and are willing to make a financial commitment, however small, to come forward to insure that The Book Thing can keep giving away books... we will continue our policy of not requesting donations from our patrons at our distribution site, since we don't want to discourage those who most need our service from coming to The Book Thing simply because they cannot afford the "suggested donation." Those who wish make a donation, however small, should make the donation payable to The Book Thing of Baltimore, Inc. Donations may be sent to The Book Thing of Baltimore, Inc., P. O. Box 2197, Baltimore, MD, 21203-2197. We are a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status, and all donations are tax deductible. Link (Thanks, Pete!) [Boing Boing Blog] Comments7:16:57 AM
