Even to Goodwill or other places. I don't care for how Goodwill deals with their profits but I sometimes find good books there for really cheap.



Several charity shops locally now have signs in the window saying they no longer accept books.

They were receiving so many unsellable pulp novels that they were having to pay recyclers to take them away.

Which is a real shame because amongst the mass-market paperbacks I occasionally found gems ( e.g. geological atlas of French wine regions )


Or even a laundromat. Someone will pick them up and start reading them, it's a near guarantee.
