Dog Eared Pages Used Books presents: Books for Soldiers
100,000 Paperback Books going to the Middle East!
We started this New Program at our Used Bookstore in Phoenix, Arizona after talking with some of our customers that had served in Iraq and Afghanistan. They
were telling us that in their off-duty hours there wasn't much to do
other than read or play video games and unfortunately there were never
enough books for everyone to read and pass around. We
trade for used books in our store and often times we will receive
duplicate titles we don't need on our shelves. We have been donating
books since we opened our bookstore in August of 2008 to the VA
Hospital with Vets on their way down for treatment and Senior
Communities & many other charities around town and we will continue
all of these worthy programs.
The Books for Soldiers Program is going to be a massive undertaking and we are asking for every Patriot in America to help. We are donating all the books
Here's what you can do:
Send an e-mail to all of your friends that we need the address of any person serving in the Middle East (http://tinyurl.com/Soldiers-Books ) and
tell them to send the message on to their friends, we need this message
to go viral, it will take 3,847 names @ 26 paperbacks per box to reach
the 100,000 book goal.
If you use Facebook or Twitter please
post the message there also, if we all work together we can really make
a difference for our soldiers.
Send the names and addresses to info@Dogearedpagesusedbooks.com or click on the contact us link
Go
to the Home Page and make a donation for postage, it costs only 50
cents to get a book into the hands of our brave young men and women
serving in the Middle East.
Thank You in advance for your efforts

Thank you Scottsdale Public Library!!
The
Scottsdale Public Library is extending the Scottsdale initiative of
'eat locally' and 'buy locally' to 'read locally'. In support of local
authors, the library is putting together a selection of local author's
books that will be available soon.
And yes, Finding Home has been added to their collection!
Ever
go to a luxury hotel, slide into the bed and not want to get out of the
bed? You can't really explain it, but the sheets, pillows, feather bed,
comforters, etc come together to make it a blissful night's sleep.
Well...I know the secret and I've upped the ante a notch. There isn't a
hotel - luxury or otherwise that has a bed as comfortable as mine. Most
of us don't really know what we're doing when it comes to our bedding.
We think we know but then we go and buy sheets that should be soft
based on thread count...but they wind up being scratchy. That should
never happen and if you begin buying your bedding from Private Quarters - it never will happen again.
A few years ago, I thought I would try to make my bed more like the
ones in the resorts. I bought the feather bed to go atop my pillow top
mattress. That made it better, but it wasn't quite there. So next I
bought the lightweight down comforter. We were getting closer, but
sheets and pillows were still off. So I tried every single pillow they
have and found the perfect pillow for me.
The sheets are the hardest part. All of Private Quarters'
sheets are nice. The 400 thread count is by far the best deal in town.
You can't match the price for the quality (trust me, I've tried). Their
300 thread count are fantastic for your children's beds. The 500 is
nice for my guest room and the 600 is great - if you like the satin
finish.
However, when Linda was at Jenifer's house doing a party last
Saturday...I finally broke down and ordered the Bamboo sheets. I slept
on them for the first time last night (yes, the order got here that
quickly) and my bed is now the most comfortable bed in the country. I
absolutely did not want to get out of the bed this morning because it
was so comfortable.
I have achieved the most comfortable bed possible and it's all because
of my 'Comfort Consultant' (don't laugh - listen to her and you will be
bragging just like me), Linda McVey. Check out her website and 'get comfortable with Private Quarters'.
