Did you know that many old books contain chemicals that can harm your health.  Good excuse to burn them or something more environmenta

They also cannot be changed with a new edition and are therefore likely to tell things as they were rather than with todays mantras. ??

We leave old books at Camp Kitchens and Camping spots that have some sort of "library" structure, book exchange.

I have noted that Op-shops tend to overprice their donated books. Most of the Vinnies shops are an exception.
