Otto Bookstore

Ho, ho, ho, this is Betsy from Otto’s.  What could be more fitting during this season of hope, of peace, to give a book that promises both to a war-weary world.  Greg Mortenson's new book, Stones into Schools, takes up where Three Cups of Tea left off in the true story of an American mountain climber who lost his way and found his life’s purpose in a really remote mountain village in Pakistan.  He made a promise to the people who saved his life that he would return with the makings of a school—but first he had to build a suspension bridge across a deep ravine to get the building materials to the village.  Now, more than one hundred thirty schools later, Greg’s been traveling to American cities and towns, speaking to almost 700 groups, drawing audiences of up to ten thousand.  It is not unusual to have people drive six or even twelve hours to hear his story.  Fourteen Afghan horsemen rode six days without stopping through rugged mountain passes to meet him.  You can get his story in a signed copy of Stones into Schools from Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of downtown Williamsport.
