    Free Reads for Mexico City Subway Riders (2/26/2004)

    The city's culture department launched the project to encourage a culture of reading. Volunteers hand the free volumes to commuters, who then hand them back on their way out of the subway.

    Old, Rare Books Available (2/26/2004)

    Thanks to the British Library, Amazon.co.uk now has an additional 2.5 million listings, many of which date before the 1970 introduction of ISBN.

    Fashion for a Purpose (2/23/2004)

    A portion of Lord & Taylor's Spring 2004 Signature Sale will be donated to the American Library Association. Also, Jones New York has chosen ALA as its charity for their "Sign for the Cause" promotion.

    University Locks Up Books, Frees Text (2/20/2004)

    Manchester U. has made every book published in English between 1453 and 1800 available online! If my school had done this back when I was studying English lit, it would have made my life so much easier.

    University of Washington Sells Card Catalogs (2/20/2004)

    The university is selling 142 of these, each for $150-200. That's actually a fair price. I got mine for only $40, but people have offered me up to $300 for it.

    Back to top.
