Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Must I Be Bound
Library culls are a perennial problem. Although I've picked up a good bit of ex-library material over the years (sometimes direct from library sales, but all too often from dealers selling at enormous markups on what they will have paid) I'd far rather see the books kept available to all. I worry about certain hard-to-find books at Sheffield library, for instance, that only I ever seem to borrow. Their days may be numbered, but how will I know in time to "save" them? The lesson, I suppose, is to borrow such books regularly so that they don't get marked down as redundant.
