Making Book

Regarding the aforelinked TMN 2008 Tournament of Books, my friends at Coudal Partners have created a splendid side project: a wagering pool, with every dollar wagered going to First Book, “a nonprofit organization with a single mission: to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books.”

Even better, your $10 wager is worth up to $90, thanks to nine companies that are each matching up to $1000 worth of wagers (including Daring Fireball).
