Kes: This post and the following one are both examples of how more books are being made more accessible than ever before, defying what once may have been considered economic and physical limitations.

Cory Doctorow's _For To Win_: how to donate copies to teachers and libraries

From Cory's mailing list

Are you a teacher, librarian, youth worker, or someone else who could
use a copy of my new young adult novel FOR THE WIN?

As I've done with my previous three books, I've set up a matchmaking
service for people who need copies of my books and people who want to
buy copies of my printed books as a way of paying me back for the free,
downloadable versions I make available on my site.

If you work at an institution that could use a free copy, please send
your details to freeftwbook@gmail.com. The book launches tomorrow, and
the website and free ebook editions direct potential donors to the list
of institutions that need copies. Previous donation programs have
resulted in hundreds of hardcovers being donated to worthy institutions
by generous readers.

Please pass the word!
