I just accepted and uploaded Shamelss Exploitation in
Pursuit of the Common Good. It's a very amusing (I
suspect Hotchner did the actual writing, with, of
course, a lot of input and additional humor from
Newman) book by Paul Newman and A. E. Hotchner of how
the Newman's Own Brand of products came to be, and
then were marketed. There's also a long section about
the Hole in the Wall Gang Camps, founded and run with
the profits from the foods; letters both funny, from
eaters of the product, and moving, from campers and
their parents; cartoons; and winning recipes a
Newman's Own/Good Housekeeping Magazine contest.
Newman's Own profits in the form of grants--I think
there is a foundation--are given to worthwhile
organizations. In addition to major ones you've all
heard of, there was this line in the book: "But the
biggest kick we get is when we can help obscure little
organizations that couldn't generate the publicity to
attract the attention of donors." Do we know any
organizatin like that? (smile?) I wrote a note to
Janice or whoever the person who is trying to get
funding--I think actually it's Jane--and sent her a
web-page that gives details and an application form.
It would, of course, be great if Bookshare could get a
grant.
I think the scanner was Dorothy Dean; I'm not sure,
but whoever it was did an excellent job. There were
very few errors in the main text. The problem with the
book, which was why I took it, was that it was
originally a txt book and didn't have page breaks
-and, of course, the fractions in the recipes needed
to be correct.
