Now here’s something we can all feel good about—affordable fashion that celebrates great books and great book covers, at the same time acknowledging that there are millions of people in the world who don’t have good access to printed books, never mind virtual books. Out of Print is selling t-shirts with book cover art printed on shirt fronts. The shirts are available in men’s, women’s and children’s sizes, colors and styles.

To quote from the Out of Print web site:

“In addition to spreading the joy of reading through our tees, we acknowledge that many parts of the world don't have access to books at all. We are working to change that. For each shirt we sell, one book is donated to a community in need through our partner Books For Africa.  

How we read is changing as we move further into the digital age. It's unclear what the role of the book cover will be in this new era, but we feel it's more important than ever to reflect on our own individual experiences with great literary art before it's forever changed.”

Amen to that!
