			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi   All!!  I hope everyone’s semester is moving along beautifully and we’re all getting   excited for BOOK DRIVES!!  I received this letter from an owner of Beat the Bookstore,   and we at BWB thought it was so kind we’d share it with the world.  Beat the   Bookstore is a rapidly growing used-book franchise; you might see one opening in your   town soon!  Please take note,    Better World  Books   and Beat the Bookstore have no contractual agreement; we are just two businesses with   high hopes of making every book count.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Hello,   Abby:<br />
I actually donate to    Better World Books   through a student organization at        Utah    State    University      .  As I have gotten to know the faculty sponsor/designated adult for the Golden   Key Club, she has told me about the club and how they work with    Better World  Books   .  At the end of each buyback period, we truck the books to her office for distribution   to you, I guess. </em></p>
<p><em>This   actually works out great as a marketing and overall goodwill system for our store.    We are the only store in        Logan      that provides value for textbooks that don&#8217;t get used again, and it&#8217;s possible because   of    Better World  Books   .  I&#8217;m   actually working on putting up signage in my store to advertise this.  I know   that the Golden Key Club receives payment for each book that    Better World  Books   accepts, so the value is for all parties: </em></p>
<p><em>- Beat   The Bookstore helps students get rid of their old books for a good cause<br />
- The Golden Key Club gets an avenue for fundraising for their activities<br />
-    Better  World Books   gets to change the world through its programs</em></p>
<p><em>If   you do have any signage, posters, or ideas of how to better publicize this relationship,   would you be willing to part with it?  Any business owner worth his or her salt   in this world has to be involved in doing something for those who are less-fortunate,   and I&#8217;m glad that I&#8217;ve got a way to contribute to a better future in a small way.    If we can do more to promote    Better World Books   in the store, let me know. </em></p>
<p><em>Thanks.<br />
Eric<br />
Owner, Beat The Bookstore</em></p></blockquote>
