I just heard that 2nd hand books are getting more expensive where I live and those free book cabinets you find on the streets are getting emptied by people who want to sell the books. I wonder if it’s related
The only little free library I’ve seen nearby is always full of nothing but romance books, and by the looks of it, not even good ones, just dime-a-dozen “literary” porn - i.e. “bodice rippers”. I assume anything else gets taken quickly by either someone who wants to read it or someone who wants to sell it, now I’ve read your comment… and previously I thought it was just that those books are what people tend to get rid of and no one wants secondhand even for free.

To me this seems like a desperation quick money scheme which is equally unfortunate in a different way.
