Like you, I started truly building my personal library through the various book vendors who would set up tables in the student unions of the colleges I attended. Most of the books were used (some were antique, and I purchased a real find for only $1.25!), all of the books were discounted to the price of a soda or two, and many of them were free. Glad I'm not the only one raiding those bins!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment!<BR/>~DawnDawn (@LyriqueTragedy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04610889472414378673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15586980.post-21877732606670377322007-09-07T19:40:00.000-04:002007-09-07T19:40:00.000-04:00Hi, I agree with your statements.

Have some type of event at the bookstore with doughnuts and coffee and offer to give the books away for Christmas. It would create a feeling of goodwill and bring positive publicity to the store! You mean to tell me that you couldn't put the books on ebay and sell them for shipping and handling only? He could inflate the shipping by a dollar each book if he wanted to just to make something on them instead of making himself look like an idiot! He's definitely not the poster child for "Reading Making You Smarter!" I'm starting to think that he's NOT smarter than a 5th grader!! I actually hated to see the books burning! At the college I attend, they were giving some books away and just set them out for anyone to take. They are all editions that are no longer used but the information is still good. I grabbed 3 books on some subjects that I wanted to learn about for myself. There was a monstrous stack of books lying around on day 1. Day 2, all of the books were gone! Need I say more?!! Now I'm mad that I didn't get a couple of other books that I saw, but the point is, someone will always take something for free; if it truly is for free!!<BR/><BR/>dk_jazz<BR/>www.Bizzane.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
