People who would never think of buying used clothes or household items think nothing about acquiring used books. Books can be very personal items, handled more often than a shirt or coat, but once they have been read they can easily (I almost said "read"-ily) be shared with a friend or given away to charity. (Used book sales like those of St. Francis Episcopal Church or Beth David Synagogue are hugely successful.)
Your selection of books can tell more about you than the garments you wear. Clothes may make the man, but the books he reads make him more of one.
I love books, but I can pass them on without regret. A good novel is to be shared, but a candle holder is forever.
I've got a table full of books ready to find new homes. Let me know if you'd like to come by and check them out!
