The only thing is, I looked at the books people are shariing and they tend to be books I don't own. Lots of SuperRomances, light fiction -- the books I have extra copies of tend to be classics -- for example, I have multiple copies of Dante (4 sets, it turn out!), Lamb, Whitman, etc. But in this community, those might go best.

I can't stand to let go of some of the books I would most like to share, because they're usually out of print. Like The Haunted Bookshop, E.V. Lucas, stuff like that.

I need to think about this. But meanwhile, I do have some duplicate copies of excellent mysteries (Sayers, for example) that I will put out there and see what happens.

Too bad I didn't hear about this a month ago when I was doing the major culling and shipped several hundred books books off to the library book sale.
