Amazon Is Having A For Dummies Book Sale
Sunday, March 9th, 2008I thought you might like to know that Amazon is having a sale on their books from the “Dummies” series. If you buy two books, you get one
for free. There are over a thousand books in the “Dummies” series on subjects ranging from buying a home, to sewing, to working with computers.
I think this sale could help us build up the nonfiction, how-to side of the Bookshare collection. Even if you are unable to scan books, you can still help to build
the Bookshare library’s collection. You could use this sale to purchase books and either send them to the Bookshare office or pair up with a person who likes to scan to get the books into the library.
Amazon will let you mail the books to the Bookshare office or to the submitter’s home if you like, so you don’t have to deal with packing up the books and getting them to the Post Office yourself. If you want to learn more about the sale, visit
