This is the third post I am making on this fabricated "outrage"
When I death cleaned my parents house, I threw out close to 1000 books.
Threw out as in recycling, together with plastic bottles and aluminum foil.
NO ONE WANTED MY OLD BOOKS.
NOT EVEN FOR FREE.Let me repeat that for the pearl clutching folks in the back.
NO ONE FUCKING WANTED MY OLD BOOKS !!!
At least ingested into the orphan crushing machine, they may survive in some form.
