How can you help?

Donate books, stamps, or packaging supplies like envelopes and tape. Monetary contributions are also appreciated, tax-deductable, and will be used towards postage costs. We currently spend at least $1000 per month on postage! Make checks payable to Prisoners Literature Project and mail to Bound Together Books. Thanks!

Books should be:
Paperback, in new or good-condition (no falling out pages or extensive underlining). No heavy or outdated textbooks, please.

Our office is like a miniature version of a bookstore with a section for pretty much any type of book you can think of. Here are some of the most common requests we receive from prisoners:

• Dictionary, thesaurus, legal dictionary, almanac, GED test prep review, or any reference book
• Spanish-English or any foreign language dictionary
• African-American studies, Chicano/Latino studies, Native American studies, or any ethnic studies
• Any history, especially revolutionary
• Politics, sociology, psychology, philosophy or science
• How-to books (any practical skill, craft, drawing, etc)
• Fiction
