For those readers who live in Pleasant Hill you may have noticed that the Safeway on Oak Grove and Putnam has a used book shelf at its exit. Its selling paperbacks for a dollar and hardcovers for two. I have walked past it several times without much thought and then finally decided to check it out yesterday. Besides the books having no recognizable titles or authors it was even hard to tell which genre they belonged to. It looks as though the manager of the store found a discarded box of unwanted books behind a Salvation Army and thought they might be able to make a quick buck from it.
If you want to buy quality books at those cheap prices check out the used books being sold at the PH Library. Same prices with a much better selection. I bought a Hobbit/LOTR trilogy set for $3! You'll be supporting our local library as well as getting a good deal.
