[CALIBK12] textbook recycling

[Blanche Woolls]

Hi,

I have a suggestion for outdate, unused, uninteresting, unread fiction 
books. If you tear out the last three pages, they become worthless. Same 
goes for the table of contents and index of non-fiction books.

Peg Bracken (The I Hate to Cook Book) had a clever message to hang on your 
refrigerator: When in doubt, throw it out!
