There's a lot of debate about the printed word and electronic books. It was a little difficult when digital books came out (eventually I did break down and I love my Kindle). As much as I love actual books, I'm a bigger advocate for reading. Who cares if it's in a digital form, or even a t-shirt form? As long as it helps literacy and helps others read in any convenient way, I'm all for it.
Out of Print clothing is a t-shirt company that donates one book to
Books For Africa for every t-shirt purchase.
The shirts are available for pre-order, but how cool would these be for a late Valentine's day gift for the reader in your life? Go buy them
here!

I just stumbled upon this website yesterday! Those tshirts are really sexy. I sort of wish the print was smaller. I don't like massive designs on girls...gets deformed with the boobs and all haha
oh they're amazing. Wish they were available over in Britain!
cool i do love printed tees! i've made a few for myself but these are way cooler!
ps sorry i've been MIA just got tons going on!
Those are fabulous.
I would kill for some of them as posters!
well since lolita IS one of my favorite books, i think a shirt would be fitting :)
That is awesome. :-) Definitely getting one for my husband. And when they start selling the women's t-shirts I'll be dropping him some no-so-subtle hints to get me one too. ;-)
love!
oh i love these...i want them for myself!
oo i can't wait for them to start doing women's!
What a great idea. I agree, it's the reading that's important, not the medium. I can't ever see the printed book becoming obsolete. People are too attached to them and the technology is more of a complement than replacement. At least I hope that's how it goes!
Those are gorgeous! I am re-reading "Of Mice and Men" right now with my class - it's spell-binding.
Oh, and I nominated you for a GLOB! I know that sounds gross, but it's actually a Gorgeous Ladies of Blogging Award!

I have a 'thing' for printed tees (just did a post on it - lol!)
Those shirts are great!
I really want one.
hooray for books! and kudos to those for thinking up t-shirts as a way to express the love of books, and perhaps even convince others to try reading them! YAY! love them!
I love the Lolita one!!! :)
I want the Catcher in the Rye one! It's my favorite book :)
I'm inclined to agree with you on the whole digital book issue - as long as people are reading, does it really matter how? I would love to have a kindle. It would be ideal on trips!) As to the shirts - so fantastic! I love them! And I love that they donate to a good cause - so amazing!
Terrific idea. Thanks for sharing this with us, Diana!
I love the Moby Dick one! It's quite an exciting graphic for a booklover...
One nice thing I've found in digital books is that I can access several out-of-print titles! So though I read pages 99.89% of the time, I've loved some of the rarer books I can get now on my Kindle-for-iPhone.
Plus, it got me through three hours at the DMV.

As a high school English teacher, this gives me the chills in a very good way! I totally need the Catcher in the Rye shirt... Thanks for posting! :)
thank you for being a fellow reader :) i LOVE to read and feel weird if i am not into some book :) they make me happy
omg this is so cool!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE BOOKS!!
I'm pretty sure they ship internationally. At least that's what it says on the website.
Oh goodness. I love old book covers, these are excellent!
I love the Catcher in the rye, moby dick, and of mice and men shirts. I haven't read the latter two, though, I suppose I should. And perhaps I should buy one for my husband.
My husband is going to be so excited about these shirts. I can't wait until the women's shirts area available. And how wonderful that the company donates books to Africa. Cool product and socially aware, yay!
love♥
A great cause and great designs. I've always been fond of old paperback covers. Look at those fonts! I'm kind of on a t shirt ban but these are nearly irresistable.

They are so cool! :)
I love these shirts- I'm such a big bookworm!
