Classic Books - Great Cause
http://www.outofprintclothing.com/Mission_a/151.htm

Out of Print celebrates the world’s great stories through fashion. Our shirts feature iconic and often out of print book covers. Some are classics, some are just curious enough to make great t-shirts, but all are striking works of art.

We work closely with artists, authors and publishers to license the content that ends up in our collections. Each shirt is treated to feel soft and worn like a well-read book.

In addition to spreading the joy of reading through our tees, we acknowledge that many parts of the world don't have access to books at all. We are working to change that. For each shirt we sell, one book is donated to a community in need through our partner Books For Africa.

How we read is changing as we move further into the digital age. It's unclear what the role of the book cover will be in this new era, but we feel it's more important than ever to reflect on our own individual experiences with great literary art before it's forever changed.

7. So I share the site with my boss, another avid book lover...
And he asked me to order the Walden shirt for him... very cool... check this out... message after purchase:

"Thank you for placing your order with Out of Print! Your order number is 9129. A receipt will be emailed to you shortly.

For each shirt you purchased, we will donate one book to a community in need through our partner Books For Africa. Thanks for helping to share the gift of reading!"


This just keeps getting better!

Thanks again for the OP!
