Luckily, such self-deception is
strictly limited to people donating old books. Imagine if everyone out there believed something or other that was not true. What a mess we would be in then...

It's an undeserved win-win for such donors; they get rid of what they don't value and pat themselves on the back for their generosity at the same time. The reality is that it's much closer to a zero-sum; their gain becomes someone else's loss.

Did a book donor hurt you at some point?
