Check out our special holiday gift offer: new trees + book stickers + beautiful holiday greeting card

I would like to remind you about special offer for the holidays: trees + stickers + beautiful holiday greeting card.

It's very simple - plant trees to green the books your loved ones read. We will send them a beautiful holiday card and Eco-Libris stickers to display on their books' sleeves. Just change the shipping address on the PayPal payment page to the address of the gift receiver (or send us a separate email to info@ecolibris.net with the details) and we will take care of the rest!

The holiday greeting cards we send are made by Doodle Greetings (see picture above). Not only these cards come with a beautiful design, but they are also eco-friendly - printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper and are made chlorine-free and acid free. This is a good fit with Eco-Libris stickers, which are also made of recycled paper!

This is also very affordable gift offer, starting from $6.50 for 5 trees/stickers and a holiday gift card! $25, for example, will get you 25 trees, 25 stickers and a beautiful holiday gift card. Interested? go to our holiday gift page.

Last but not least, if you buy books this year as gifts for family and friends (and maybe even yourself), we have some ideas on how to make your gift more sustainable. Check out our 10 recommendations on how to green your book gift this holiday season.

Eco-Libris: Promoting green reading!

Eco-Libris is collaborating with Bookswim in an holiday campaign!

We are happy to announce on a collaboration with BookSwim (http://www.bookswim.com), the premier online book rental service!

BookSwim, established June 2006, is the first full-service online book rental service lending you paperbacks and hardcovers, Netflix-style, directly to your house, without the need to purchase. Whether it's new releases, bestsellers, or classics, they have something for everyone, with free shipping both ways! Read your books as long as you want — no late fees! Even choose to purchase and keep the titles you love!

Now BookSwim is offering virtual gift cards which are the perfect gift for those who love to read. A tree will be planted with Eco-Libris in honor of every gift purchased. We had done it with BookSwim last year and we're happy to partner again this year to green up their gift cards.

BookSwim are also giving incentives to customers to purchase gift cards between now and December 31, including a $5 gift card to be used by you for every $50 gift card purchased. Similarly, for every $100 gift card you buy, you will receive your own $20 gift card. Additionally, 2 lucky winners will receive a $299 Sony Blu-Ray Disc Player. One entry for every gift card purchase. Check it out at https://www.bookswim.com/gift.html

BookSwim is a great service and as a rental service it also has green qualities, similar to those of libraries due to the fact that it helps to maximize the use of every copy that is already printed. You can read more on BookSwim and the environment here: You can read more at: http://www.bookswim.com/media_kit_vision.html#theEnvironment

So don't forget to check out BookSwim's gift cards - it's a great affordable (and green!) gift for the holidays for every book lover.

Eco-Libris is collaborating with BookSwim on a special holiday gift card program

Eco-Libris is happy to announce on a new collaboration, this time with BookSwim, the premier online book rental service.

BookSwim launched yesterday a Holiday Gift Card Program to sponsor the planting of holiday evergreen trees with the help of Eco-Libris. For every online gift card purchased at BookSwim.com during the 2007 holiday gift season, BookSwim promises the planting of a new Holiday evergreen tree with Eco-Libris.

BookSwim, established June 2006, is the first full-service online paperback and hardcover book rental library club allowing subscribers to rent books shipped directly to their door with no late fees and free shipping.

The company is based in Monroe, NJ but offers book rental service nationwide ranging from hardcover new release novels to classics, nonfiction bestsellers to children's books.

Book club subscription plans range from under $15 to $36 per month and allow up to 11 books borrowed out at a time and returned in a pre-paid bag, but members are also given the option to buy.

George Burke, chief marketing officer, explains the idea behind the gift card: "book rental gift cards make great last minute gifts for parents, for seniors who may not be able to make it to the bookstore or library, kids who need a constant supply of fresh books, and of course friends and coworkers. And now, the Holiday gift giver can be proud of the dual nature of the honorable gifts of both reading and replenishing nature."

You are welcome to check it out at BookSwim's website.

Yours,

Raz @ Eco-Libris
