[ModLib] Modern Library Chronicles

[Morgan, Martha G]

Friendly, self-evident amendment to the notion that one should never sell books to 
Half-Price books:
 
Don't sell them if you want to make money, but do sell them if money's not your 
object and you want your books to reach someone who might need them. 
 
I sell my linguistics books and foreign language books to Half-Price just so they will 
find a good home with somebody trolling the place.

Joseph,
 
That advice is correct!  I overheard them talking to a seller once.  They pay 10% of what they expect to sell it for.  That means you would expect to get 5% of cover price for a brand new book, since they will sell at 50%.
