I found a home for some of our oldest books - Carlson Turner Antiquarian Books and Bookbindery. I really didn't want to see them go into a dumpster because they were dated. Our Transfer Station would likely throw them out, and the library book sales have some reservations about older books, for which they may not have a market.
I wasn't looking for remuneration, just appreciation for old books that still have a life and value to them. We dropped them off in Portland and felt happy about doing so.
Our coffee table and field guide Africana books were claimed by a friend at the Lake Stewards of Maine this week, too. Things are moving ... sometimes slowly, but all in the right direction
