I was in a second-hand store recently and the owner and a customer were deciding to make the store a place to release books into the wild that were too precious to be left out in the elements. <BR/><BR/>Love the parsnip recipe.

We tried to leave books in interesting places -- in the visitor centers of National Parks, in a pueblo church in New Mexico.
