The book of the month for February and March 2009 is <em>Psalms of the Daughter</em> (<a href="http://www.psalmsofthedaughter.com/">http://www.psalmsofthedaughter.com/</a>) written by Lynn Pinder, an African American writer who self-published her first collection of Christian-themed poems and short stories in 2008.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 203px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 286px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295946093133602370" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GM2mxyTYriw/SX766Z7YnkI/AAAAAAAABLo/CgcWLlQSSCI/s320/lynn%27s+book2.jpg" /><br />The Beautiful and Smart Book Club campaign is a quick and easy way for beauty and barber shops to build customer rapport and raise extra money. Participating beauty and/or barber shops earn a 28% ($3.91) commission for every copy of <em>Psalms of the Daughter</em> sold to one of their book club members. Additionally, beauty and/or barber shops with at least five book club members will have their business name and contact information displayed on the <em>Beautiful and Smart </em>website and on its other promotional materials. <p></p><p>The Beautiful and Smart Book Club campaign is a win/win situation for everyone! </p><p><u>Possible Benefits to Beauty and/or Barber Shops:</u></p><ul><li>Extra money for your business</li><li>Increased fellowship and networking opportunities for your customers</li></ul><p><u>Possible Benefits to Customers:</u></p><ul><li>Great inspirational books to read during visits to the beauty and/or barber shop</li><li>Increased fellowship and networking opportunities</li></ul><p>For more details, contact 443-257-6752.</p><br /><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>The Beautiful and Smart Campaign is a project of Create-A-Book Baltimore (<a href="http://www.createabookbaltimore.com/">http://www.createabookbaltimore.com/</a>) </strong></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9085656109448989528-3105825324423226001?l=beautifulandsmart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The TAKE ACTION!
