University Books Abroad

University professors write reviews of manuscripts under consideration for publication. As remuneration, they often receive allotments of books from the academic publishers. Now they can choose to bank those allotments as investments in book-poor colleges and universities. University Books Abroad receives applications for these allotments of books from needy institutions world-wide: libraries, schools, or cultural centers that justify their need of books from the particular publishers available. The winning applicants receive the indicated catalogue and exercise agency by selecting books in the dollar amount granted for the review.

University Books Abroad is now in partnership with The Sabre Foundation, which has over twenty years experience coordinating book donation programs worldwide. Please visit www.sabre.org for more information.

If you are a professor or professional writer and would like to donate the allotment of books you received as remuneration for a publication review, please contact us at cultagen@fas.harvard.edu. Thank you so much for your support in this important humanitarian program.

Cultural Agents is now in negotiation with a major South American airline to discuss a strategic corporate-giving partnership in support of University Books Abroad. Please check back for details. And look for a “Donate Here” web-form soon to automatically upload your allotment.
