Well, I'm glad the Montgomery County libary system put the book your way.Helen DeWitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619602559096610012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375681131276548542.post-89601193126472476172009-03-25T17:27:00.000+00:002009-03-25T17:27:00.000+00:00I used to live in Bethesda. Libraries in Montgomer...I used to live in Bethesda. Libraries in Montgomery County are poorly stocked (at least with <I>good</I> books), but instead of accepting donations, they just re-sell all donated books (absurdly cheap, like 50 cents for a paperback). Bad for them, good for me: one day I came across some strange book called The Last Samurai that my friend had been raving about. I read about 2/3 of it in one sitting, and I've been a fan ever since. If they had taken donations I might never have found it!<BR/><BR/><BR/>P.S. I confess I haven't used the Pay-Pal button, but I did buy another copy in the store. (A total of 3 overall, of which I still have 2: one for me, one for lending, except now both are lent out. If the library won't do that, I have to do it myself.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
