The UK and Ireland has a very nice little program called World Book Day. Authors write books for free, publishers publish them for free, and kids buy them for £1. Not a bad deal. Neil Gaiman is one of the authors this year, which is very cool. But it means that the book is only available in the UK. So shipping is more than the cost of the book! Still, it's a good cause. But you'll have to wait until 3 Mar 2008 to get your hands on it, so mark those calenders!
