<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s where you come in.  If you buy a book from my <a href="http://simonwood.net/bookshop/"><strong>website bookstore</strong></a>, I’ll donate the value of your order to charity–dollar for dollar.  Not only will you be giving to charity but you&#8217;ll be getting a book out of it.  So don’t miss your chance to run me up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not everything is listed on the bookstore so if you’re looking for translated titles, out of print titles, hardbacks of the Aidy Westlake series and audiobook editions, let me know.  I can do a few <a href="http://simonwood.net/2014/07/mystery-box.html/"><strong>MYSTERY BOXES</strong></a>.  If you’re ordering out of the USA, please contact me first so I can quote shipping costs.  Thanks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I hope you’ll pick up a book or two for you, a friend or even an enemy.  And even if you don’t get a book, please share this post.  Thanks.</p>
