now. You used to be able to exchange or buy a secondhand book for $2.
Everyone has obviously seen the dollar signs because there are book exchanges everywhere. Good books are 70.000 at a lot. Some will exchange for half price.
I had a new book which I wanted to exchange for a reasonably new one. The guy wouldn't give me half because my book had 400 pages and his had 450 pages. My book was still on the bestseller list. Some of them have no idea which books are good so price according to how my pages.
Mind you I have got some great books that way.
I bring a few then exchange them and leave any I have read there.
