What is Dollar Book?

I blog lists of books. If you want one, I'll give you the book, and you give me a dollar to give to World Vision. That's it!

Questions:
Can I give more than I dollar?
Yes! I suggest you give what you feel like the book is worth to you.

How do I ask for a book?
Leave a comment asking for the book. Or email dollarbook@gmail.com. It's all the same to me.

What if I don't have a dollar?
That's okay. I'll give you a dollar to get the book with.

Can I request specific books?
Sure, and if I find them, you get first dibs.

Who can get Dollar Book books?
If you want one of the books I blog, and you're at UMBC or in west Baltimore, I can get it to you super easy. Otherwise, don't bother.

Why World Vision?
World Vision helps people all over the world in practical, sustainable ways. They're really good at helping people who are hungry, thirsty, and who don't have good clothes; they also hep oppressed women and girls get out of tough situations and become independent. 86 cents of your dollar will go straight to helping people, which is really good, as far as charities go.

Can I be a Dollar Book blogger, too?
Yes! If you're at UMBC or in west Baltimore, email me, and I'll let you blog on the blog and give you access to the Dollar Book blog email account. If you're nowhere near us, you can steal the idea and do Dollar Book somewhere else. Let me know, because book people should be friends.
