Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson6/1/2023 ![]() ![]() I am going to write to the conference organisers and I'll update this review if I get a response. This is appalling and I would like to find out how the books I received were procured. ![]() I thought this was very generous of the publisher, but according to this exposé, Mortenson usually buys the books for such events using his charity's funds, so that (a) he can receive royalties (not his charity, mind!), which he wouldn't if the publisher donated the books or if they were bought at wholesale prices and (b) the books can stay in the bestseller lists. Each delegate at the conference were given a copy of Three Cups of Tea (the young adult version) and a hardback copy of Stones into Schools. I saw Greg Mortenson speak in Miami in July last year and was captivated by his story. ![]()
