George RR Martin says, Doing Good is its own reward…but when you can Do Good and add some nifty autographed books to your collection at the same time, well, that’s even better.
In a nutshell, its a fundraiser for Obama called “Books for Barack.” You make a donation at the site listed and get a tote bag filled with 10 autographed books from a large number of contributing authors. Some of the authors include Stephen King, Judy Blume, Michael Chabon, Nora Ephron, Alan Furst, Garrison Keillor, Lemony Snicket, Amy Tan, Steve Martin, Ursula K. Le Guin, Jonathan Lethem, Dennis Lehane, Ann Tyler….and apparently more are signing up.
Its a sizable donation – $250 – but I figure if a couple/few people chip in and send it along it might be doable. Either way, its neat to see some of my fave authors getting behind my candidate choice.
