Imagine a company with a revolutionary vision for buying and selling books.
Imagine an innovative new social enterprise that meets 21st century demands of the triple bottom line.
Imagine harnessing the collective consumer power of a global network of book lovers to fund literacy programs, support the environment, and create good jobs.
Imagine a Better World.
Established in 2003 by three Notre Dame graduates, Better World Books began with a simple, yet transformative idea -- run a book donation drive, collect as many titles as possible, then sell those books to fund a reading program at a local community center.

I'm incredibly surprised I've never heard of them before. From what I can see, they've got something special here. I've been buying books from them for the past couple months, but I didn't look into their background until tonight and was surprised by what I read.
Cleverly disguised evil company or the real deal?
Edit: Some additional info on the CEO.
