ORIGINAL POSTING: On the website http://lefbooks.org (Literacy Empowerment Foundation), they say you can get 100 books for "free", all you need to pay is shipping, handling, and an administrative fee. Has anyone ordered the free books? Are they paperback or hardback? How much did the shipping, handling, and administrative fee total? Were you pleases/displeased with the quaility? REPLIES: LEF and Bruce Larkin turn up every so often on LM_Net. If you do a search in the LM_Net archives, you'll get quite a few hits. The general consensus was that the books weren't worth it. The author (Larkin) is self-published, and seems to use the LEF promotion as a way of reaching customers. I just went on the website and the shipping for each 100 books is $65.00! I decided no since I want to choose what I give away. I did a few years back. . . they weren't worth the shipping cost :-(They are new books offered for free, but with a hefty shipping cost. They are stapled in the middle, like a magazine, and written by a self proclaimed author. If you do a search on Amazon.com you will see that he hasn't written anything that is available to the general public. I wouldn't waste my money.
