Most of my new reads come from Book Bub - but I get, occasionally, a
tome or two from https://archive.org (Internet Archive) to which I
contribute some of my treasure ... as they are getting their arses
sued off by the greedy publishing houses.

I've got a Little Free Library in front of my house with an arrow and
PARK on the side. I'm on a busy 4-lane arterial street w/no shoulder
to pull off onto. So I direct them to my driveway if they'd like. I'm
considering putting a Little-Free-Pantry next to it.
