There are about a half dozen around my neighborhood. My daughter and I constantly move books in and out of them to keep them fresh on our walks.
Sometimes they’re great; but, oftentimes I find them to be utterly and completely devoid of anything interesting or different. Almost every single one has some sort of religious spam in it.
I find that they're almost always a perfect cross-section of the local thrift store's books - including the absolutely inordinate number of cookbooks.
They’re either what folks don’t have accepted at Half Priced Books or people read absolute shit.
If the latter, it’s no wonder folks don’t read as much as they once did.
