It’s a shame these books aren’t ending up in those little free library things throughout the communities, and are being dumped at bookstores instead.
I mean it’s great that they aren’t just being thrown away, but what was freely accessible information in classrooms is now behind a literal paywall.
I know that’s the intent of the law, really, but it saddens me greatly.
Agreed. But the sad reality is that the twits who support the ban would just go collect them and burn them anyway. At least this way they have to spend money to get them from a bookstore.
