Trading in used books

Link is to one of the main used book shops in town. It's been kinda emotional for me to finally admit that I should trade some of the lesser books in my "collection". And it's been kinda emotional to finally give up a title only to find someone not take it in trade!

First time I took a huge pile to a shop specializing Canadiana, I was miffed when he passed up a really Canadian title, I even made my case for him taking it. The assistant said I should get a job in book selling! This past Saturday though, I remained relaxed and didn't think twice about the why or how of his selection process.

Ultimately I have come to realize that I read just enuff for books to have an emotional attachment to them. I need to reach the point where their just like Harlequin romances, read em and weep, and trade em!
