a good job Last time I checked, they are degrading. Ebay is literally being flooded with books you could only find in a library, that are being sold for near the cost of shipping, because they are being thrown out.
I'm the sort of person that, takes my time, and looks at books in every section. And, right now, I can tell you libraries and book stores are gutted of anything useful or meaningful. They are just another space that has been transformed into a propaganda center.
Propping up failing public libraries, is just spending money on state approved propaganda.
Used book stores are the only places that still have some value. Especially those that will give ignorant inheritors cash for a priceless collection that you can't even ebay lol.
