The message
from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:

We recently had to get rid of a couple of thousands of books - hard
backs,
paper backs, all sorts. We cleared the shelves a few years ago, the
family
had first pick of them. Then friends. Then we stored them, trying all
sorts
of outlets including an overseas charity which pleaded in its advertising
that it wanted *any* book for schools which had none.

And yet a friend of mine was bouncing with joy when she collected 300+
"Golden age" SF books from a FreeCycler.

There were no SF books in our ex-collection, only Spouse reads them, usually
given to him by an internet friend and he passes them to a son. No idea
where they go from there, possibly to his son then students ... SF doesn't
seem to be a problem. Physics books do. As everyone knows, physics changes.

Hrumph.

Mary
