Ah, yes....The Book Thing!
Cindy and I made our way over to Baltimore to drop off a few
books on Saturday. When we got there, our books joined thousands of others in a book family reunion of sorts.
(Those are volunteers, by the way, not scavengers. I think...)
Just to give you an idea of the scope of the place, pretty much everything you see here (and several shelves that you can't see) consists of fiction. Not mass market paperback fiction, however. That's somewhere else.
They just keep bringing stuff in all day long. The Book Thing has many rooms, far more than I've included here. If you can read the signs, you can see that the books are somewhat organized. But if you're expecting alphabetical order, forget it.
Unfortunately, the Science Fiction/Fantasy section obviously got obliterated earlier in the day. The volunteers add new books continuously, but you really have to get there when they open at 9:00 for the primo stuff.
Cindy and I only picked up a few books for ourselves. The main objective was to get rid of books. (Maybe next time it'll be a different story.) Happy Reading!
