Since I'm too broke to pay full price for my books, I connect with other readers in my town and we exchange books. When we all initial the books, the last reader donates them to the Little Free Libraries.

Thru the last few years I have, separate from the others, bought the whole collection of Lee Child "Reacher". Loved all the books but not the new ones done in collaboration with his brother. I bought them, not traded.
I think I live in a town without readers of Lee's work. I tried to sell 15 of his books for $10 and no takers. My feeling is that they are missing some good books.

I managed to collect the whole collection but the ones I posted on Facebook(local page) were duplicates that I bought on-line. Got not one reply. Lesson to me, keep a list if you find an author whose work you want to collect so that you don't have 'leftovers'.
