That is so good of them. It's lovely to hear that famous people still care about the issues in the world and not just their successes. Good on them.

I think its great that they give to such a fantastic charity. I see some classic books in there which is awesome. I'm sure those with leprosy, AIDS, and HIV are really glad to have books. It's nice to see that actors really care about those less fortunate than themselves.

I wonder if the stars picked the books that they signed themselves? If they did it's an interesting reflection on their personlaities. For instance, who knew that 'Hagrid' was such an Elvis fan?

Haha- that's cool about Alan Rickman: "my favorite book- a blank one." Indeed.
I must say, it was terribly nice of all of them to do this. I noticed that they seem to do a lot of these kinds of things but that, of course, is not a bad thing.

That's great!! I think its awesome they are doing that! I love Alan Rickman's message with his book. Hilarious! Of course, I don't agree with him, I love to read, especially Harry Potter! I wish I could buy just because that would be really cool, but I'm sure they will cost lots of money!
