Our WoodenBoat School has a discount for high school and college students to help defray their course costs.
To help fund this, several of our WoodenBoat Books authors and WoodenBoat Plans designers have annointed (either now, or, when they pass) that their royalties go to the School's Scholarship Fund.
And to add to that fund, the WoodenBoat Store sells used nautical books, where 100% of that income goes to the School's Scholarship Fund. The used nautical books are donated by folks who want to make good use of their collection when down-sizing, or that they inherited. It's a nice way to keep good books in circulation as well as lend a helping hand to the aspiring student.
These books are not on our Site, they are only in our Store, so be sure to take a look at that group when you drop in.
If you want to donate used nautical books, you are encouraged to do so. Please realize there is no tax write-off, and we don't pay freight to get them here in Brooklin, Maine.
