A great new idea from AlterNet

Dear Friends,

AlterNet has an exciting new way for you to help us at no cost every time you shop for books, CDs and DVDs.


Here's how it works: Begin any of your online purchases from www.alternet.org/bookswelike and AlterNet will earn a 7.5% commission on everything you buy.

That's about $1 per book!

Books We Like will take you to Amazon, Powell's Books, or BookSense.com's independent websites. You won't spend any extra money on your purchase. The only difference is that AlterNet receives a commission on everything you buy. Yes, everything! So don't stop at books; you can buy all sorts of things.

Books We Like also features lively conversation about great books, music and films. Join right in and make your book recommendations.

This is a unique opportunity for the progressive community to use its massive purchasing power to support the organizations it cares about. Last year $69 billion was spent online, and probably 10% or more of it came from supporters of progressive causes. A piece of all that action can go into the coffers of AlterNet, and the other great groups with whom we are partnering.

So please help us. Whenever you go online to buy something, start at www.alternet.org/bookswelike.




And if you love books, music and movies, register at Books We Like and start recommending the books you think more people should know about. Promote your favorites and discover new ones!

We hope to get 20,000 people making their online purchases through Books We Like for the holiday season, and we're hoping you will help spread the word.

Tell your friends. Send them to www.alternet.org/bookswelike.

Thanks for your support,

Don Hazen
Executive Editor, AlterNet
