Also included are back issues of various magazines, such as Bomb, The New York Review of Books, Bookforum, Art in America, The New Yorker and The Paris Review.

All books are left in public places. Each has the following label on its cover:

In 2007, we started putting some of our inventory for sale on line using eBay’s Half.com service. The idea is to get further distribution. Most prices are set enable us to recapture our shipping costs. The books on half.com do not carry our “free book” sticker.  If you for some reason want the sticker, send us a comment with your order and we will include one.
