This company has developed a variety of methods for redistribut- ing all types of bound reading materials /books throughout the world. Many times the only used books which can be recirculated are children’s and adult novels that are in very good condition and generally considered “resaleable.” Homeowners, businesses, stu- dents and teachers often discard used books because there is no other method of recovery for these particular materials.

Many of the text- books or workbooks collected will be funneled to needy students in third world countries. Barillas meet Kanjorski The Barilla family of Dallas met with Congressman Paul E.
