There’s also a program on there called “Box of Books” where you can swap multiple books with other people, no credits required. So you can swap off all that spare Danielle Steel for something you actually NEED.

I was always one who hated the idea of destroying books but for some books there comes a time. Especially for those book stores that depend on moving books out the door through sales and getting new stock to fill the empty spaces. Without the turnover they would be spending rent money just to give the books a home. – Booksellers can’t afford to be married to their stock. – If a book will never sell they might as well have a priest come in and officiate a ceremony that makes the union legal.

Notice that not all the suggestions were destructive. Many ideas were for spreading the unwanted books around the neighborhood with a little advertising thrown in.

I like the lamp idea and have a few old medical school books (so outdated the material in ‘em might be dangerous) that would work and perhaps would be ideal for a doctor’s office. – Maybe one of these days…

Now, I am perhaps the least crafty person in the world, so I can’t claim to have ever made one of these myself. But I did think it was rather a nice idea,
