Bob, that's the right thing to do. We don't want clutter in the house.
And books invite worms too.
What with plentiful resources on the net, who wants books anyway?
Bipin.
They're a handy backup when the power is off& battery on your
kindle has died.
And dropping them in the bath when you doze off is less catastrophic
(although the library take a dim view if you do it with their copies).
I still have the book I had to buy because I dropped it in a stream when
I was walking in the Forest Preserve back. I had fallen while
manouvering rocks crossing it - played hooky with a friend from my
classes at Northwestern. I sprained my ankle rather badly and my
chum had to carry me back to his car. The book is the Modern libaray
edition of "The Daring Young Man on The Flying Trapeze" By William Saroyan.
Hand written by the Northwestern University librarian on the front end
page is "total Loss - .65"
(I keep hoping Bipin was writing all that tongue in cheek - don't know
him well enough to know that from his brief appearances here. I'm
guessing he is a lot younger than you and I are John.)
