To me, this is the best news I've heard all day.
See, used books made me - my local library as a kid was heavy on Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys, and decades-old travel guides, not so much on other subjects. I very distinctly remember wanting to find Catch-22 and not only was it not available from my local, it wasn't available at any library in the county.
But used book stores didn't have that problem. I found my copy of Catch-22 in the back of a Goodwill store. Tolkien came out of a Salvation Army. Scores more came from library sales and yard sales, each a quarter or a dollar at a time.
- TheGRS 11y agoMuch of these books you can borrow for free on your kindle from a library though.
- bduerst 11y agoUnfortunately you still have to physically go to the library to get them sent to your kindle. It's almost worth $5-10 to me to not have to do that. Edit: I think I need to have a chat with my library.
