I have verified myself that this is true, seems worth taking the time. While I fully expect to get some junk mail because of sending off a message, seems a small price to pay to provide a book to a child.
cheers, kinch

"The Houghton-Mifflin publishing co. is giving books to children's hospitals; how many books they give depends on how many emails they receive from people around the world. for every 25 emails they receive, they give one book--it seems like a great way to help a good cause.
All that you have to do is email share@hmco.com.
I hope that you can spare the seconds...and let your friends know. So far they only have 3,401 messages...last year they reached 23,000.
This seems like an easy and simple thing to do -- please take the time!"
My "urban legend detector" pegged when I saw this, but it turns out to be on the level. See http://www.hmco.com/hmco/trade/hmi/polar/ for more info.
