Having been a bookseller once, I think this is one great sales promotion idea. Hope the book quantities purchased made the wheelbarrows pay for themselves and that you made a few bucks on the deal too.

As co-author of one of the featured books, I am brought nearly to tears by the creative energy poured into this project. Whether your subject is Storey or another local company, please keep reporting on corporate responsibility in action. It might go far in restoring confidence in the American way.
