For the love of literature

There are few thrills in life that compare to getting something for free.  There are also few feelings as comforting (at least to me) as adding a book to one's permanent collection, to keep the others and the owner company.  Thanks to the Concord Free Press, an organization that publishes books and gives them away via their website and various independent bookstores, we can all have our prose without dropping a penny.  In exchange, they ask their readers to make voluntary donations to the charities of their choice, and to pass the book on in order to generate a network of literary giving.  They proclaim to take on the project of "re-invigorating the book, which isn't dead yet, by the way."  I have faith in you, Concord.  One free book at a time.
