Oh man... They've got Evolution for Dummies on their list.
My sides are literally splitting open...
Any idea if a gift of one of these books would be tax-deductible? Or would it just be better to increase the donations we give?
Is this actually from NCSE? Not just a prank to get them cdesign proponentists books?
Yes, I attest to its authenticity. I got the link in an email from one of the big honchos at NCSE.
The NCSE needs your support. I just received my annual membership premium from them - postage due.
@ #2 & 3: The list is really for the NCSE archive and NCSE is a charitable organization. The books are shipped directly to the NCSE archivist. I'm including the books I sent to NCSE via their Amazon wish list as part of my 2007 charitable deductions!
