Paws for Charity: The Book

Hey all, remember that article a few months back about Sara Harley and the Paws for Charity art book photo project she was organizing? Well, all the submissions were gathered and reviewed, and the book has been published and is available now.

For those of you who are not familiar, 2009 was the first year for this project. Original art and photographic images from the US, UK, and Canada were submitted to create a 40 page book. Nearly 100 submissions were received, but only 37 were chosen. The book features dogs, cats and one teddy bear (the paws part). ALL proceeds raised will be donated to the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade (the charity part).

Congratulations to the following team members who were included in the this year's edition. It's clear that we POE folks love our animals!

Another feather in our cap: the staff at blurb (where the book is available for purchase) has selected it as one of their favorites. It's also currently a bestseller in their bookshop too.

This feel-good purchase would make a great gift and would be a lovely addition to any animal lover's bookshelf. The price is only $17.95 for the softcover edition, and you can purchase it right here.

Many, many thanks to Sara for all her efforts in organizing this wonderful project for a wonderful cause. We hope the POE team can be of service to you again for the 2010 edition too! :)
