Grassroots Books offers deals to organizations who give books to kids:

• 100 book minimum
• $1 average price for mix of used and new books ($0.50 more  for new books only)
• buyer specifies how many books at which grade level of reading
• Grassroots selects the books, which will include overstock
• Grassroots boxes the books (nothing fancy)
• organization picks up books a day or more in advance of the book giveaway; pay when picking up
• Grassroots supplies extra 30 books so that every kid gets a chance to pick a book that he/she likes (those 30 books are to be returned)
• organization returns those extra 30 books to Reno Grassroots.

Books make a difference! According to research, giving a kid who has no books at home (and there are many) can add more than a year of education. In other words, they might graduate rather than dropping out in 11th grade.

The Meaning of Food is the companion book to the PBS television series hosted by Marcus Samuelsson.

No matter who we are or where we live, our lives revolve around food. Much more than simple sustenance, food is part of our culture and our traditions. Everything about eating — including what we eat, how it tastes, who prepares it, and who’s at the table — is a form of communication rich with meaning.
