If you love books, especially books related to Art, you need to check out Better World Books. Here's a quote from their site, "Better World Books is a self-sustaining, for-profit social venture
whose mission is to capitalize on the value of the book to fund
literacy initiatives locally, nationally and around the world."
"We partner with nearly 1400 libraries and over 1800 college campuses
across the U.S. and Canada, collecting unwanted textbooks and library
discards in support of non-profit literacy programs."
"All books are available with free shipping to any location within the
United States (or $3.97 worldwide). And in case you’re concerned about
your eco-footprint, every order is shipped carbon neutral with offsets
from Carbonfund.org."
I recently purchased this book, How to Draw and Paint the Figure with Impact, by Sharon Pinsker for a grand total of $8.56. (BetterWorldBooks is now selling it for $5.98.) The condition of the book is new. On Amazon, this book costs $16.49, excluding shipping costs.
I liked the fact that I got a good deal on the book, free shipping and I was helping to fund literacy. Let me know what you think of their site.
