I used to be able to get books (for cutting up and scanning) for about fifty cents there. Around here, there seem to be very few literate people. Very few people who have ever been to a dentist either. Oh, now I'm rambling again.

Sorry .... it's the heat. It's supposed to hit 108 today, and I have yard work to do. (Shudder .....)
NO! I'd never ask you to purchase anything for me, hon. I meant of books to tear up and scan... I'd buy the books and ship them to you - if I had been serious in the first place, which I wasn't. I mail order anything I have to have in pbook format these days, I don't have any good used bookstores here, either. One of the shops has a small used section, and there's the local version of Goodwill that has a book section, but both are real heavy on bodice rippers and hard core sci-fi, neither of which is usually what I'm looking for.
I need a better scanning setup - desperately - for a couple of series that aren't going to be released in ebook til hades freezes over, if then. But I'd like a non destructive solution, and those are expensive.
