[Publib] book prospector

[Everett Tilton]

Good afternoon all,

I have been using Bookprospector for about 2 years now, and have had  
good results. Like Kara said books are not worth all that much but  
when you have a total collection budget of $300 a month every little  
bit helps. I am the lone staff person at my library and in my spare  
time which is very limited doing all things, I take a box of books and  
try to find them on BP, they send a check either once a month, or once  
a quarter it's been a while since I've been able to do any. I have  
also found that they give more for used textbooks and such.
