Here is an article that appeared in my local newspaper about what bookstores do with unsold books.
SARATOGA SPRINGS — The written word may be sacred to bibliophiles, but books are just a commodity to bookstores.
And when they’re not wanted, some get tossed in the trash or the recycling bin.

For us here in the Philippines…those books that just go to waste or recycled are a priced commodity for our poor schoolchildren who are always looking for something to learn. This public school..Morong Elementary School, Barangay Morong, Badoc, Ilocos Norte located in northern part of the country has many potential children to excel. Your useless books has many uses for our school children.
