A limited number of examination copies of the 2015-16 Common Reading book (Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, by Bryan Stevenson) have arrived on campus, announces Karen Weathermon, Common Reading Program co-director.
Faculty considering using the nonfiction, award-winning book in Pullman fall first-year and other classes and programs may now submit requests for copies using an online form at https://wsu.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_5dxh4kq4bb6qLYx .
Copies will be distributed as soon as possible, based on availability. Just Mercy at this time is only available in hardback; students will receive information about the book and author over the summer with the suggestion that they purchase a paperback copy closer to fall.
The teacher’s guide to using the book is at http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/224792/just-mercy-by-bryan-stevenson/9780812994520/teachers-guide .
Contact Weathermon by email at kweathermon@wsu.edu with any questions, or if you have suggestions for programming around Just Mercy.
