Need more room on your bookshelves? Want to help attract science fiction
& fantasy readers to fannish activities such as Worldcon and also other
cons, gatherings, and clubs?

The Science Fiction Outreach Project (SFOP) will put your extra genre
books to good use, giving them away to readers next month at C2E2, the
Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo. Each book will have a bookmark
promoting Worldcon, local conventions, and the groups sponsoring the
outreach project.
