1 COMMENT

  1. This company has been publishing since 2001 and it has put out 1000 (website says 925) books, plus hundreds (???) for what appear to be small presses. (I looked up Capstone Press and what they have on sale seems to be the scrapings at the bottom of the market.) So where does I Save a Tree get 80 million dollars worth of books to donate? Perhaps from Project Gutenberg? Or do they think that each of their books is worth $80,000?

    Lies, lies, and more lies.
