Sorry for the US-centric suggestions, though I think literacy programs cross borders (don’t tell me your nation is superior to ours in this as well)?

God, don’t apologise! They’re great suggestions, you just might have to be a US resident to contribute. Hope some of my US readers take them up…

That Amazon article made me a bit sad. I guess their prices had to have some catch somewhere.
I can still use marketplace sellers with a clear conscience, though, right? Jim’s Green Books in Milton Keynes probably doesn’t employ people on 10-hour shifts….

A good deed for UK booklovers might be a donation to Storybook Dads, http://www.storybookdads.co.uk/ — they help prisoners in UK prisons to read stories on to CDs for their kids, helping them to keep in touch.
