I like to buy second hand books. Specifically educational material of any sort for my children.
Very often I come across exercise books for math, writing etc. I like those. I like coloring books as well.
Sometimes however, people donate books which are pretty much already totally filled/colored in and I wonder what is going on in those people's heads.
"Oh, there are three pages empty and we used mostly pencil. Maybe somebody can still use it! They could go ahead and just erase all 100 pages and it would be as good as new!"
Greeaat...
I mean, seriously: Who would by a book that is pretty much unusable. OK, maybe they just told their children to get rid of everything they didn't use any more, because Saturday was Goodwill day. But even then they ought to take a look at the goods. You don't do Goodwill any favor by giving them trash. On the contrary.
