All Given Away. My Tiny Apartment Thanks You!

Sorry, no more copies left to share of Meeting Faith: The Forest Journals of a Black Buddhist Nun (a PEN award-winning memoir by Faith Adiele).

I'll be sending books out this week*, and I hope all of you who get Faith's book (either through your own purchase or through the giveaway) enjoy reading it!

*I'll send them first-class in the US, but probably have to send them by (slower, yet cheaper) media mail rates internationally.

Hi -- I don't need you to send me one -- just wanted to tell you that I think your generousity is lovely. I'm a bookseller, so I'm going to order some for stock for my store, and read it that way. I bet I know some customers who'll be interested, too. Great recommendation!

It's an extraordinary book.

In addition to the fascination of its content, it's an amazingly creatively designed book--the designer used typography and layout to capture the sense of a dialogue between Faith's 1980s journal entries and her reconsideration/re-envisioning of them while writing the book in the early years of the 21st century. And there are gorgeous photographs.

I can't recommend it enough. I hope your customers enjoy it!

Also, I hesitate to take too much credit for generosity on this front. My tiny apartment can't hold more than three or four copies of each of Faith's books, even though I adore her!

So please, if anyone wants this book and needs a free copy, you will be helping me in my reorganization effort as well as acquiring a really cool book.
