Ross Clifton is a brilliant jazz pianist – and an even more talented thief. He steals millions of dollars in diamonds and BMWs and gives all the money away. But his life as a latter-day Robin Hood is about to come to an abrupt end.
I reviewed Give + Take by Stona Fitch, explained a bit about the unusual way it’s being distributed, and the ongoing cycle of generous donations it is inspiring.
Now it’s my turn to pass along my copy of this novel.
Please enter the giveaway only if you agree to the terms, which are:
By taking a copy, you agree to give away money to a local charity, someone who needs it, or a stranger on the street. Where the money goes and how much you give — that’s your call. When you’re done, pass this novel on to someone else (for free, of course), so they can give. It adds up.
Whoever wins will read the book, visit the Concord Free Press website to note the donation amount and recipient (can be noted anonymously), then freely share the book with another reader. And the cycle of generosity continues.
If you’d like to enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment below, indicating who you might help if you win. I’m not going to follow up with you, this is just to get your ideas flowing.
Giveaway is open until midnight EST on Friday, February 5, 2010. I will announce the winner on Saturday the 6th; giveaway is open worldwide.
Update 2/6/10 – The winner is Stacy from Stacy’s Books - Congratulations! (This post is now closed to comments)
