   	In San Francisco there is an organization called Friends of the   
   Library.  Maybe   
     you have a similar institution?  They take the donated books and have   
   sidewalk   
     sales on the West end of the Library every Wednesday.  I am broke   
   lately so   
     I missed a chance at an old book on Japanese arts.
