Referrals: Better World Books
by John De Castro

There has been a major trend in businesses that help you make a difference just by doing what you already do.  A few good examples are TOMS, SevenlySpogo.co, and many many more!  They all do their part to help others and still run a business; we call them the Social Entrepreneurs of our time.

The company that we're referring today is Better World Books (www.betterworldbooks.com). They were awesome enough to include my responce to their question:

"What are the top ways people can make a difference this holiday season?"

In which we responded:

"Support the 10 for 10 campaign and give just 1 buck at www.1BuckStrong.com and help impact the lives of over 10,000 people, and still have money to buy presents."

So to return the favor, here's a little introduction to this extraordinary social adventure!
"Better World Books collects and sells books online to fund literacy initiatives worldwide. With more than 8 million new and used titles in stock, we’re a self-sustaining, triple-bottom-line company that creates social, economic and environmental value for all our stakeholders."
