Sometimes I purchase books not because I particularly want them, but because they are inexpensive and I look at them and think "someone out there wants this."
So, the Hannaford (local grocery chain) sells used books here in Vermont and donates the sales to a different charity each week or two. Obviously I browse the 50cent paperback pile whenever I am buying groceries.
I happened to spot copies of How Much for Just the Planet and The Final Reflection, both by John M. Ford, and my brain said this to me, "there is probably someone you know, or someone who someone you know knows, who really wants one of these."
This was about a year ago, and they have been sitting on my bookcase ever since, because I knew I'd be at 4th Street this year and I figured if there was someone there who wanted them, I'd be happy to hand them off.
First person who asks / first recipient identified gets 'em. This is a "pass off at 4th Street only" option, as otherwise I have to pack 'em up to ship, and I am far far too lazy to actually get that done within any given 6month span.
