At least they seem to disappear from there quick enough so someone's getting some use from them.

We have three of little library boxes in our area and I have made several trips to get rid of some books there though at 30 books per trip, it's going to take a long time to made a dent in our collection. Sadly, I have to agree that unless the book you are donating is currently on several best sellers lists, it has more value as kindling for the fireplace.
