As you know from a previous posting, I have been using BookMooch to trade used books. This week I received a mooch from “Prison Book Program“.
A quick search directed me to the web site explaining this is a non-profit organization that gives books to prisoners. I had no idea this organization existed. BookMooch seems like a perfect way for this organization to get books.
BookMooch has a charity page that lists the prison program as well as several other charities you can give your points to. I am going to give them a point (worth a book) for the one they spent getting a book from me!
You are probably wondering what book they requested… “199 Great Home Businesses You Can Start (and Succeed In) for Under $1,000.”

I was expecting something more along the lines of “199 Ways to Make a Hacksaw Out of a Toothbrush”.
This is neat – and it is very cool that you posted a link.
The choice in titles makes perfect sense. Its hard enough to compete for a job, let alone do it with a felony conviction and potentially years away from the job market.
Entrepreneurship is the answer – and in promoting that spirit everyone wins…
Industrious people, trying to distance themselves from past mistakes, who are vested in society – stand a much better chance of staying out of trouble.
Awesome.
