Rescued

Found, along with dozens of other modern, desirable books (mainly novels) in a skip. Seemed a pity to leave them there....

 

They join the unread books on the shelves. It seems a small act of kindness to rescue these few, among the hundreds of thousands of books  thatget pulped every year. Which certainly seems like a waste.

As my grandmother said, "Be careful with books. They take a long time to make."
