Fwd: Re: GEN: Free Books-Read Across America Day

[Jo Ann Lynn <jalynn@SAA-SDS.ORG>]

I received the following message from a fellow LM_Netter who had further
info on the "free books" posting I sent in yesterday. I certainly didn't
intend to lead anyone astray, and should have checked the site out myself
before posting. My daddy always told me that if it looks too good to be
true, then it probably is. I should have thought of that :-).

Cheers,
Jo Ann
