Changing the World One Book at a Time: BookCrossing and Better World Books

March 18, 2009
Here's a match made in Book Heaven: Better World Books, the socially-responsible bookseller and BookCrossing. We've teamed up for the betterment of readers, books and the world. With shared missions of finding new life for old reads and helping to increase global literacy; together, Better World Books and BookCrossing will ensure that no book is left behind. Each book purchased through Better World Books and registered by BookCrossing will be able to affect positive world change through this collaboration. The two green companies have parallel philosophies and seek to save books from landfills, recognizing that a good book is a terrible thing to waste. The partnership’s congruent mission and philosophy of recycling books between readers achieves several goals with each and every book donated, gifted, purchased and tracked -- the kind of impact and return that readers and environmentalists will be sure to applaud.

A purchase of a previously owned book from Better World, via our on-site links (found under the BC Store & More tab or soon to be conveniently highlighted on each book view page with a Better World Books button) provides the highest rate of financial return to BookCrossing, almost double the amount from our other affiliate relationships. Now you can continue to be a socially responsible reader, reuse and recycle books, make the world a library and support BookCrossing at the same time. Help change the world one book at a time.
