The recently released Out of Print pouches follow along the same one-for-one model that the company holds itself to, much like TOMS Shoes. That is to say, for every product sold, one book is donated to a non-profit or community that they decide is in need of more educational resources.
Some of the styles include, of course, The Great Gatsby, alongside other classics such as Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre and the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Some of the designs aren't simply books and their covers but rather prints of a bookish theme, for instance, green, yellow and blue library cards and the pun-inflected "Poe-ka Dots" version.
