Author James Patterson has already donated millions of dollars to bookstores, libraries and other literary organizations in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Now he has set up a fund in partnership with the American Booksellers Association to provide bonuses of $1000-$5000 to bookstore employees.
To nominate your favorite bookstore employee, click on the link below and answer the question: "Why does this bookseller deserve a holiday bonus?" The form will be open until Nov 1, so that Patterson himself can personally select the employees to receive the bonuses in time for the holidays.
Although not clear from the website, as the partnership is in association with the ABA it seems likely that the awards are limited to the USA.)
