Review for Book Industry Charitable Foundation, Ann Arbor, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I volunteer for and donate to Binc because I believe in the importance of bookstores and booksellers. Bookstores have for centuries been one of the primary conduits of enlightenment to many communities. And booksellers have played a primary role in creating interest in the important books of our age and in reading in general. And today, when the problem is too much information, booksellers play just as important a role in helping us find the books we need -- both to understand the problems of the world today, and to take enjoyment by immersing ourselves in a world very different that our own.

Binc is a fabulous organization dedicated to assisting the community of booksellers and bookstore owners. The people behind it all believe in the mission of bookstores, and they understand that most dedicated booksellers choose to toil for wages that won't cover all their bills when times get rough. Both compassionate as to the myriad of problems people can face, and savy in their distribution of funds, Binc has helped thousands of booksellers, both young and old.
