What’s all this then?
The idea for the book was inspired by a similar project in the UK. The Irish version will raise funds for Focus Ireland, who offer shelter and support for people who are homeless, with €4.61 from every purchased copy going direct to Focus.
The book contains fifty stories and photos from Irish and Ireland-based bloggers and blog commenters, received over a six-week period in October and November, and is published via Lulu.com. Self-publishing enabled a really quick turnaround time on the project, with the maximum possible funds going to Focus.
The book is available to purchase here for €14 plus P&P.
