Excellent stuff you’ve got here…not sure if it’s a bug or not but the footer looks a little out of sync in my web browser.

He is from Jamaica and used to own a book store. He sends most of his to used book stores in Jamaica who sell them for very little or even rent to people who can't even afford the very low price. He sells them for under a dollar to cover the cost of shipping. He has helped these book stores set up the rental portion. He is now getting requests from other Caribbean countries to ship to them. There must be something similar in the Vancouver area. I was recently very disgusted when I went to the recycling depot in North Vancocuver to find a bin full of old hard cover books that seemed to be from some elderly persons home. A shame that their family couldn't be bothered to pass these treasure on.
