Each bag contains 10 paperback copies of the title, a binder with discussion questions, reviews, an author profile and other related information.

What a terrific program! I’m wondering if a similar program will ever exist for business groups and/or associations? (Or if there already is such a program.) Thanks, and keep up all the great work you do for the Boulder community.
