For anybody buying a book, I am willing to donate half of the proceeds to Leave A Trace. 

 

The way to do this is simple. You obviously need money to ship gear to faraway places. Even if you get old equipment for free. 

 

Bring my books to your presentation to show them. The books also provide a number of good examples of what skiing is like in third-world countries. 

 

If somebody wants to buy a book with half money going to your charity, they can do it one of two ways. 

1. They can pay you cash and give you their name, shipping address, and cell phone number. I will have the book or books shipped. They can buy one or both books. Then you pay me half of the money. 

 

2. They can go to my website and buy the books themselves. If there are purchases coming from your area, I will know they are related to your efforts and I will send you your share of the proceeds. 

 

The price of the book on the website is $84 + $16 shipping. So, if you are collecting cash, you should charge $100 per book. I have to pay the shipping, so you keep $42 and send me $42=$16=$58 per book. 

 

If they buy on the website, I will pay you $42 per book sold.
