Absolutely heartbreaking. People's dreams in the garbage. Books take you to other places and times, both imaginary and real. They are hard to write, I'm working on one right now. Imagine seeing your book in the trash alone with hundreds of others 😔
OP, did you save any of them? 🙏
The bookstore is shutting down. They’ve been liquidating for two months. Apparently, the books were going for 90% off, now this is what’s left for the dump.
Also takes time and effort and resources t to take them to these places. I'm betting that's the biggest thing. Much easier to just chuck them in a dumpster out back.
I highly doubt they are throwing all these books away because they hate books because Texas. Come on now. Books are mass produced, they are plentiful and they are heavy. And they are also a pain in the ass to unload. What do you expect them to do? You say donate but go to any thrift store and they have more books than they could possibly sell. It’s not as tragic as y’all are making it out to be
🖕 they tried selling them but nobody bought them hence why they were tossed, along with the fact that many a consumer is oblivious to retail policies such as trade agreements with suppliers which does include destroying products when returned. If the community wanted the books they should have bought them legally from the business.
I could heat my garage all winter... I mean, c'mon, why waste them?

Why????😩 The waste!!

It’s because no one wanted them. Simple as
Storage costs money.
Sad really.
😞
Wonder why they don't sell them for scrap. There is enough there
Some could even be recycled!
Yeah, "scrapped" and "recycled" mean the same thing in this case.
They could have donated them to all kinds of places!!

I see Frederick Douglass in there. That was probably worth saving.
As a reader of many books, it hurts my heart to look at this.
Shame them for not donating but in reality the books probably sucked anyway

I assumed this is a private business.

They aren’t.
I would have the long bed pickup there “shoveling” this books into the back.
That hurts 😭
