This place was less than a block from old store on orchard! Sometimes I'd be having a lousy day at the shop and I'd just walk out the door, down the street, and get 5 pickles!
I've never seen a better way of saying "this place is Jewish-owned" without saying "this place is Jewish-owned." I know nothing about this place, but it's Jews.
Books for pickles. Pickles for books. Amazing stuff. Continuing the Rogen-movie and Rugrats-family Jewish pickle lineage.
ok so if the pickles are good can you ask them to open a DC branch (if the pickles are merely satisfactory then I can't be confident we'd sustain them)
Haha, make mine bread & butter. Oh, but wait, I can't part with some of my oldest friends can I?
Hmm, do they take old catalogues, scrap paper, junk mail?
Yes, I guess I really am addicted to having & keeping large piles of books. Yikes!
I really miss the Book Thing in Baltimore, I would donate the weirdest things and get other weird things in return. The best time I had there was walking up with a huge load of textbooks and them not actually making it to the donation area because kids would stop me to raid the box
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great. https://gofund.me/0af928df
I found a used book store that sells books super cheap, then you can bring them back to exchange them receiving a credit for half the price you paid toward your next book.
When libraries shut down during the pandemic, I did a major book cull, and gave them away on a table in my front yard. Met lots of new people, got rid of hundreds of quality book without a single one getting thrown out.
We have a used bookstore in Fairbanks that gives 100% of its proceeds to the Alaska Literacy Council and it makes me happy that I have that option for where to take my books when I’m done with them. They do invaluable work.
🧵 When my sister and I were moving from Queens, I placed a Craigslist ad for "free books for anyone who wants them," and I had a pair of cute kids show up on our stoop with huge rolling suitcases looking for books to fill the community center of their housing complex in The Bronx. (1/2)
We sent them away on the N train loaded with *tons* of books (SO MANY BOOKS; we were moving across the country), and they showed up the next day in a rental car driven by a cousin to pick up all the rest. I love those two kids, and I love NYC. (2/2)
I find this particularly awesome because I have a tiny, hyper, Tasmanian-devil of a dog. Her name is Pickles. I feel the need to tell people the book donation deal, and say that’s how I got Pickles!
Disturbing to think that at the other end of this operation is a warehouse where people are bringing in cases of pickles, and being paid in cases of books... 😲🤣
The place I buy used books and DVDs from also buys them back - but I'd have to type in all the ISBN numbers, and I am too lazy.....
Too bad I do not live in NYC.
Not really - for the time being really relieved I do NOT live in the US.

I don’t know if I can go to work today. Might have to fly to that place and declare war.
One for the WIN!
