#GIVEBOOKS with Chronicle Books: Give 10 Get 10 Book Giveaway

We know how important books still are to all of us, and so does Chronicle Books. Their #GIVEBOOKS campaign promotes literacy and supports the importance of reading through sharing and charity.

For every person who pledges to #GIVEBOOKS this holiday season by sharing this intention through social media, Chronicle Books will donate a book to a child in need through the nonprofit First Book. Help them donate 10,000 books by taking the pledge here.

We’re doing our part, too! We’ve teamed up with Chronicle Books this season to not only give away a stellar set of art- and design-related books to one lucky Design Milk reader, we’re also giving them a set of 10 to donate. Chronicle Books will ship the set of books to you and then ship a set of books to the organization you designate!

Here are the books we’ve chosen to give away and donate as part of this #GIVEBOOKS initiative:
