The 800-CEO-READ Mystery Box for charity!!!

In an effort to give back to the community, we are holding a very special book offer to benefit Room to Read, a great organization that partners with local communities throughout the developing world to establish schools, libraries, and other educational infrastructure. We recently held our very first 8CR Business Book Awards, and recieved an enormous amount of great books from publishers and authors around the globe. Our idea is to share the best books of 2007 with you, and help out a great charitable organization in the process.

So here is the deal! For $20.00 we are putting together a MYSTERY BOX of three business books. In this box you are guaranteed one title that either won, or made the shortlist for best book of 2007 in its category, and 2 other titles that were submitted for the awards. 100% of the purchace will go directly to Room to Read, and we'll cover the shipping on all orders. Get on board and help us make a difference!!!! To take part in this special offer you can call Aaron at 414-274-6406 x204, or visit The 800-CEO-READ Mystery Box product page to order.

Excellent Idea!! Would love to participate since i have great respect for John Wood and room2read.
Just one question - many of the books in the list i already have. So my concern is that contents of mystery box will overlap with my existing collection. Is there a way we can avoid that?
Again, great idea ... would like to participate. Thanks

If you could only see the bookshelves around the office! I'm sure we can find some gems that don't occupy space on your bookshelf.

I would suggest that if you get a duplicate, you donate it to your local library. They never have the current business books and you get a tax write-off!

It sounds like fun, I like the surprise part. Sounds like a great cause too, something I am inclined to support. So all in all, it is an irresistible offer! (oh and forgot to mention that changethis is awesome too). thank you

My Mystery Box arrived on Friday and got Authenticity, a book I never got around to buying but really wanted. The other 2 books (Peak and Think Better) were gravy!

Thanks for putting this together. Hope that you're raising lots for Room to Read.

Great job!
