My local library's new policy is to remove any books that look over twenty years old and use them as recycled paper. Besides that, the shelves are being swamped with self-published paperbacks. So I was asking questions to everybody about the value of these old books. To me, the books themselves, the very copies being destroyed, matter. But most of them aren't even being replaced. Maybe it's no big deal to anyone but me. So I was just asking around about these things.
